A persuasive speech is exactly what one would think it is by the name of it. The purpose is to convince your audience to believe what you believe. As is often said in theatre, your objective is to get them to realize "I am right, you are wrong. You are going to forget what you said and listen to me." Although it may not work, this is your goal. Many times, these speeches will be one-sided or only show the cons of the other side. It is important to try and connect with your audience and make them feel something when doing such a speech.

The purpose of the persuasive essay is to argue a point in order to convince an audience to agree with you. To argue a point or position well enough that, by the time your reader gets to the end of your essay, he or she will agree with you. That's what persuasive means - having the ability to change people's minds or encourage them to think a certain way. Convince your reader to agree with your argument.
