 Four Types of Essay
Narrative:
A narrative essay recounts a sequence of related events.
Narrative essays are usually autobiographical. Events
are chosen because they suggest or illustrate some
universal truth or insight about life. In other words, the
author has discovered in his/her own experiences
evidence for generalizations about themselves or
society.
Argumentative/Persuasive:
An argumentative essay strives to persuade readers. It
usually deals with controversial ideas, creating
arguments and gathering evidence to support a
particular point of view. The author anticipates and
answers opposing arguments in order to persuade the
reader to adopt the author’s perspective
Descriptive:
A descriptive essay depicts sensory observations in
words. They evoke reader’s imagination and address
complex issues by appealing to the senses instead of the
intellect. While a narrative essay will certainly employ
description, the primary difference between the two is
that a descriptive essay focuses only on appealing to the
senses, whereas a narrative essay uses description to tell
a story.
Expository:
An expository essay attempt to explain a topic, making it clear to readers. In an expository essa
the author organizes and provides information. Examples of this type of essay include the
definition essay and the process analysis (how-to).
In this videos, the instructor gives an overview of the descriptive and expository essays from th
writer’s perspective. Looking at the essay from the author’s perspective can provide an
interesting insight into reading an essay.
