Using persuasive language.

Response-to-literature essays are meant to analyze and evaluate a literary work, rather than persuade the reader to agree with a particular viewpoint. The focus should be on discussing the themes, characters, and writing style of the work, rather than trying to convince the reader of a particular argument.
