the author explained that there are many types of essays; in this first part, the are
five types of essays, which are: The Illustration Essay, The Narrative Essay, The
Descriptive Essay, The Process Essay, and The Definition Essay. If your intention
is to express the existence of an object by using a specific method, you might want
to use the Illustration Essay. If your purpose is to tell a story clear and in an
organized way (chronologically), you might want to produce a Narrative Essay. I
you want to provide a precise description of some topic, the Descriptive Essay is
the correct one to use. If explain how to do something or describe how something
works is what you trying to write, then doing a Process Essay is what you looking
for. Finally, if defining a concept, a term or an idea is what you trying to convey,
then you should write a Definition Essay. Here there are the first types of essay
you might want to have into account when writing an essay.
