Essay

There
are
four
main
types
of
essays:
narrative,
descriptive,
expository,
and
argumentative.
Each
has
a
unique
purpose.
Some
tell
a
story,
some
are
descriptive,
and
others
attempt
to
alter
opinions.
One
of
the
best
ways
to
understand
each
type
is
to
review
a
batch
of
essay
examples.
Narrative
Essays
Narration
means
you're
telling
a
story
from
a
certain
viewpoint,
and
there
is
usually
a
reason
for
the
telling.
All narrative
essays have
characters,
setting,
a
climax,
and
most
importantly,
a
plot.
The
plot
is
the
focus
of
the
story
and
is
usually
revealed
chronologically,
but
there
are
sometimes
flash-forwards
and
flashbacks.
If
you're
looking
to
write
a
personal
narrative
essay, here
are
some
tips to
get
you
started.
When
writing
a
narrative
essay,
remember
to:
Include
sensory
and
emotional
details,
so
the
reader
will
experience
the
story,
not
just
read
about
it.
Allow
the
story
to
support
the
point
you're
making,
and
make
reference
to
that
point
in
the
first
sentence.
Write
in
the
first
or
third
person.

Ready
for
a
little
storytelling?
Here
are
four
excerpts
to
light
your
creative
fire.
"Looking
back
on
a
childhood
filled
with
events
and
memories,
I
find
it
rather
difficult
to
pick
one
that
leaves
me
with
the
fabled
"warm
and
fuzzy
feelings."
As
the
daughter
of
an
Air
Force
major,
I
had
the
pleasure
of
traveling
across
America
in
many
moving
trips.
I
have
visited
the
monstrous
trees
of
the
Sequoia
National
Forest,
stood
on
the
edge
of
the
Grand
Canyon
and
have
jumped
on
the
beds
at
Caesar's
Palace
in
Lake
Tahoe."
"The
day
I
picked
my
dog
up
from
the
pound
was
one
of
the
happiest
days
of
both
of
our
lives.
I
had
gone
to
the
pound
just
a
week
earlier
with
the
idea
that
I
would
just
"look"
at
a
puppy.
Of
course,
you
can
no
more
just
look
at
those
squiggling
little
faces
so
filled
with
hope
and
joy
than
you
can
stop
the
sun
from
setting
in
the
evening.
I
knew
within
minutes
of
walking
in
the
door
that
I
would
get
a
puppy…
but
it
wasn't
until
I
saw
him
that
I
knew
I
had
found
my
puppy."
"Looking
for
houses
was
supposed
to
be
a
fun
and
exciting
process.
Unfortunately,
none
of
the
ones
that
we
saw
seemed
to
match
the
specifications
that
we
had
established.
They
were
too
small,
too
impersonal,
too
close
to
the
neighbors.
After
days
of
finding
nothing
even
close,
we
began
to
wonder:
was
there
really
a
perfect
house
out
there
for
us?"
The
following
is
an
example
of
a
famous
narrative
written
by John
Updike, Hub
Fans
Bid
Kid
Adieu.
"The
afternoon
grew
so
glowering
that
in
the
sixth
inning
the
arc
lights
were
turned
on--always
a
wan
sight
in
the
daytime,
like
the
burning
headlights
of
a
funeral
procession.
Aided
by
the
gloom,
Fisher
was
slicing
through
the
Sox
rookies,
and
Williams
did
not
come
to
bat
in
the
seventh.
He
was
second
up
in
the
eighth.
This
was
almost
certainly
his
last
time
to
come
to
the
plate
in
Fenway
Park,
and
instead
of
merely
cheering,
as
we
had
at
his
three
previous
appearances,
we
stood,
all
of
us,
and
applauded."
Descriptive
Essays
Descriptive
essays describe
the
traits
and
characteristics
of
people,
objects,
events,
and
feelings
in
intricate
detail.
What's
being
described
will
be
thoroughly
examined.
For
example,
if
you
were
describing
roses,
you
might
want
to
detail:
Their
origin
Their
appearance
Their
color
Their
fragrance
When
you
write
a
descriptive
essay,
you
want
to
involve
the
reader's
senses
and
emotions.
For
example,
you
could
say,
"I
got
sleepy."
Or,
you
could
write,
"While
I
waited
for
Santa,
my
eyelids
grew
heavy,
the
lights
on
the
tree
began
to
blur,
and
my
head
began
to
droop."
The
second
excerpt
provides
vivid
detail,
allowing
readers
to
feel
like
they're
there.
