Persuasion

I discovered this painting at http://www.dlareg-arts.com/reviews.php. I could use a Psychological Appeal to try and convince the viewer that the red paint is actually blood and the blue paint represents tears cried for the blood shed.


There are three types of appeals that work well in persuading people's opinions. Those three appeals are Personal, Psychological, and Physical. If I wanted to influence the way someone would look at The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali, then I could uses the appeals. In a Personal Appeal, I would inform the reader of multiple ways you could view Dali's painting. I would also make sure that my argument paper is well written and includes valuable sources. If I used a Psychological Appeal, I would inform the reader of how Dali's painting has been in my life since a small child, and how deeply it's affected me. Using a Physical Appeal is also an option. If I chose to use that appeal, I could persuade the reader that viewing it my way is more appealing to the eye, and point out specific details. These are some ideas I could use in my argument paper.
