A persuasive essay is a piece of academic writing where one uses logic and reason to show that your point of view is more legitimate than any other.

One should provide clear arguments and support them by convincing facts and logical reasons.

A counterclaim is important while writing an essay as it explains the story and viewpoints of both sides. It gives an option to the writer to justify the objections made by the reader. Thus, it gives answers to reader's questions in advance. It makes the reader's point strong by providing clear logics. It should provide satire and sarcasm to expose mistaken ideas.
