Angle of Vision

I had never really thought about changing the angle of vision that I am writing in to better convey an idea, but I know see that it is a good strategy.  In a persuasive paper, it is important to convince the reader to believe the opinion of what you are writing about, and shifting the angle of vision is an excellent way to achieve this.  Changing the angle of vision forces the reader to only see the facts about your argument that you want them to see, while hiding the unfavorable ones.  It provides the reader with only one point of view, without allowing them to see any counter arguments, which might sway the reader to the other side of the argument.  
Changing the angle of vision seems like an easy way to persuade readers of a certain opinion, but it is not effective if it is not done well.  Even though it is not necessary to provide counter opinions when there is only one point of view, it is still important to write the arguments well and to make them compelling to the reader, so that they will want to read more.  It is also important to use as many specific details as possible, and to use language that has a positive connotation, so that the reader is never confused or uninterested.   
After learning about angle of vision, I found that , in a persuasive paper, changing the angle of vision is an effective way to make your audience see an issue or an event only the way that you want them to see it.
