Persuasive Essays!


How do you feel about soundtracks in movies? How are they different from the past? Anton Borst tries to persuade his readers that soundtracks in movies add complexity, more entertainment, and liveliness to the film. He feels it is important to include soundtracks in film to keep it flowing, and keep the audience from being bored. However, he also feels that soundtracks are disappearing from today’s’ movies. He feels that movies without soundtracks are extremely tedious and dull. He says, “And then it stopped. The gleam, the sheer potential, vanished, and movies began to feel as flat as the screen upon which they were projected. Now I cannot remember the last time I did not check my watch during a film.” It is obvious Mr. Borst feels strongly about soundtracks in movies. His essay is a good example of a piece in persuasive form.
