     The article “Wrong Move” attempts to persuade readers by using anecdotal stories in order to have a powerful effect on their emotions. The editorial board tells the readers to think about all the hard work restaurant owners and employees had to put in to stay open for business.

Another personal testimony is that of Pete Bournas, owner of Psistaria Greek Taverna, who mentions how he is worried for his business, workers, and his customers. He said, “I have 40 people on staff that I’m going to have to juggle days and make sure they can put food on their own table. I’m extremely worried, but I try not to show it.” (3) The purpose of these quotes are to explain just how miserable and distraught the owners and workers are knowing their jobs are on the line.

Connecting the article to the reader’s personal experiences can be crucial in persuading the reader.
