Persuasive: Final Draft

Audience: My niece, Kendra


Dear Kendra,
Wouldn’t it be nice to have more shoes faster? What if I told you you could have that and the kind of shoes you want, all you have to give up is the Zumies brand names? Your mom and dad are right, payless shoe store is a better store. I understand that payless is not the same as Pac-sun, but if you look, it’s all the same
If you buy from payless shoes, you would be able to get more shoes. It’s cheaper than Zumies or Pac-sun. if you buy from those stores, you wouldn’t be able to get anything else. Also, if you go during Bo-Go you can get even more for even cheaper!
They have the same shoes, they’re just called something different. Payless also has more variety. The mall has only a select few styles and sizes. Payless is more likely to have the shoe you want, in the size you want. People buy from payless all the time, even I do. I do, and unless you tell them where they came from, no one even knows the difference.
Your mom and dad can’t just go out and buy 40 dollar shoes when they can go and get the same shoes for 7 dollars instead. They don’t want to drive all the way to the mall when there is a payless right there in the city you’re in. In the end, if your mom and dad say no, take no for an answer. They are the boss until you are 18 and what they say goes.
So I get that you want what’s “in” now but you can have the same shoes and more. Just think about this: You can buy those shoes you want, but what when you can’t buy that outfit you want to go with those shoes. What do you think?
All my love in the world,
Auntie C.
