A story of mine that involves synthesis, along with attempting to persuade someone, is a trip this summer to The Country Concert in Fort Laramie, Ohio. I went last year and had a great time with some friends, but this year I want a few closer friends to go, including my 21 year old friend who would make the trip much easier. The concert includes many big time singers, including Kenny Chesney, and is a 4 day event. I will only be staying 3 days. With this website, http://www.countryconcert.com, it represents the good time and fun that can be had. It is in Fort Laramie, Ohio, a near 2 hour drive from my hometown. As I said, I was in attendance last year so I know what the concert is all about. They know nothing about the Country Concert and are leery of traveling 2 hours for 3 days to something there not sure about. To persuade them all into going, 3 of them, I have done a few things. First, I’ve continued to talk about it and act like we are all going no matter if they have said yes or no to going. I have also ordered an extra ticket already, dropping nearly a hundred dollars counting on one of them to go and making them feel guilty if one does not. I am certainly confident that one will. I will continue to say all good things about the trip, and act as if we are all confidently going until one says no. It will not be a loss, because there are other friends going down separate from me. I am confident through this convincing and persuasion, shortly they will all want to go, through the evidence and pictures of last year.
