What is the goal of an opinion article?

Opinion article

The goal of an article of opinion is to convince / to persuade your reader that your opinion on a controversial topic is the correct one. 

Opinion statement

The opinion statement is divided into two parts: your opinion, and your reasons.​

• Your opinion is a summary of the main idea  of your article. ​ 
• Your reasons form the road map, the facts you'll put forth to support your opinion. ​​

Each supporting reason forms the basis of the topic sentences in the body of the essay. ​
