Types Of Exposition Essays

Definition:
Definition essays provide you with a definition to a certain thing. It can be a whole new definition of a certain term, or a personal definition on a value. The Definition deals with the 'what' questions.
E.g: What is Friendship

Process Analysis:
Process Analysis is one of the easiest essays to write among the six. It provides you with a detailed account on a certain process. The Process Analysis deals with the 'how' questions.
E.g: How to Bake Your Own Cake

Causal Analysis:
Causal Analysis provides you with a full analysis on the causes of the topic. It is most likely used to provide reasons for an action or result. The Causal Analysis deals with the 'why' questions.
E.g: The Main Reason Titanic Sank

Classification:
Classification provides you with a classification of similar objects. It can be on the different invertebras or on different types of movies.
E.g: The Types of Intel Processors

Compare & Contrast:
Compare & Contrast is very close to Classification, but unlike Classification, it deals with the comparison of two objects. It lists out similar and different points of the objects to help the reader gain a deeper understanding.
E.g: China V.S USA

Example:
Example provides you with what it says: examples. Example is most likely to be incorporated into the different exposition essays as parts or full paragraphs instead of standing alone as a full essay.

These are the 6 main types of exposition essays. There is also the argumentary which is similar to exposition essays, but I will not elaborate on that.
