1. In "Sweet like a crow", the character Maddie tries to persuade her friend Silvia to attend the party by saying, "Come on, it'll be so much fun! You know you'll regret it if you don't go." This is an example of persuasion through appealing to emotions and peer pressure.

2. In "Like the sun", the author writes, "Imagine the possibilities if you were to take that leap of faith and pursue your dreams." This is an example of persuasion through the use of rhetorical questions to provoke thought and encourage action.
