Question

What are some differences and similarities between persuasive essays and persuasive speeches???

Answer 1

The process of writing a speech and writing an essay are two different experiences. While both the speechwriter and the essay writer communicate information to a live audience or reading audience, the steps the writers go through to create the final version require varying methods, such as the choice of diction and dramatic effect.

Answer 2

Persuasive essays tend to talk about something other than your opinion, and tends to talk about others opinions about the subject, while persuasive speeches are more focused on your opinions and what you think about the subject. At the same time, both of them are similar in the way that they are trying to persuade someone into jumping onto the same side as you, or accepting what you're saying and being on your end of the subject, to persuade them to do something that you're attempting to persuade others to do.
