v  Type of Essay 

            Expository Essays : An expository essay is a specific kind of essay that involves     investigating an idea, evaluating the evidence, presenting the idea, and supporting the         presentation with an argument. Expository essays are usually written through      comparison      and contrast, definition, example, and the analysis of cause and effect.             There is a specific        structure that expository essays follow.

            Descriptive Essays : A descriptive essay is exactly what it sounds like. In this type of essay,            you will be asked to describe something. Unlike the expository essay, this type of essay allows for much more artistic freedom as the main idea is to create an image in the reader’s       mind.

            Narrative Essays : A narrative essay usually involves the telling of some kind of story. There         are two common types of narrative essays – short stories and book reports.

            Persuasive Essays : A persuasive essay is also known as an argumentative essay. This type             of essay will be similar to an expository essay in that you will be exploring a topic and           collecting and evaluating evidence. However, unlike an expository essay, you will be taking a      stand for or against this topic.
