While I was writing my paper on depression, as with most of
the papers I write, the main thing I wanted my audience to know was that I was
well-informed on the topic at hand. I wanted them to think that I was astute,
keen, and effective. For me it is most
important that the reader know that they can trust my information. To do this
without seeming completely heartless, I included a personal note. I think these
together make my argument persuasive because it shows that I have both personal
experience with the topic, as well as further research. I like this persona
because I think it should be effective.
I wrote about depression as well. I also wanted my audience to see me as astutue, keen, and effective. I tried to add a personal note, but I really don't know anyone who has had severe depression. I'm not sure if my intended persona was accurately conveyed, but I'm somewhat confident that my message will be well-received.
