I'm a little confused about the question here, but I will try to answer it anyway!. Appeal in persuasive writing means that you should interest your reader!. This 'appeal' is usually executed in the very first paragraph where a writer will ask a question, use a personal example, cite a statistic, or make a startling statement!. You will want to interest your reader in your topic and then lay out what you want to prove about this specific topic!. Hope it helps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
