Can you give me examples of narrative writings and persuasive writings?

Answer 1

Narrative writing is virtually any story/novel. It is told or narrated. Choose any fairy tale. Think about telling someone about your day. This is a personal narrative because you, personally, narrate/tell the story.

Persuasive writing wants you to do something, change something, or join something. Advertisements in magazines are persuasive; they want you to buy their products. Political speeches are persuasive; they want you to join their party or believe their side of the propaganda.

Hope some of this helps.

Answer 2

Most books are narrative (such as The Hobbit, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, etc. etc.).
Persuasive writings are generally a lot shorter and try to convice someone of something. Look up Jonathan Swift's 'A Modest Proposal' for something satirical and persuasive.
Narrative goes a bit like this: "And so and so did something"
While persuasive is more like: "We should do this because of this and this and that."

Good luck!
