    Narrative writing usually deals with feelings and opinons. It has figurative language, descriptive words and phrases that appeal to the imagination.

    Persuasive writing is for debates usually. It uses rhetoric, repetition, logic and focuses on facts and ideas. It wants to influence the audience to the side you're talking about.
