Exposition<\/h2>\r\nA type of essay or composition offering information on a topic, concept, process, or issue. Logic, facts, and examples support a thesis or main clam.\r\n
Example:\u00a0The United States military is an all-volunteer force consisting of five main branches. The divisions are the Army, Navy, Air\u00a0Force, Marines, and the Coast Guard.<\/div>\r\n \r\n

Narration<\/h2>\r\nThis storytelling composition might inform, entertain, or even instruct through example. Narration uses sensory description but may also use figurative language to add to the intensity of the story.\r\n
Example: My father was drafted in to the United States Army in May of 1969. He told me often of his\r\nsadness at receiving the draft notice. But he also felt a sense of pride in getting a chance to serve his country.<\/div>\r\n \r\n

Description<\/h2>\r\nA type of composition giving the reader details about an object, person, or experience. It can also describe a topic or the particular components of a concept.\r\n
Example: The diving board at the old Jonesberg city pool was ancient and sad. The rust that spotted the steel base was flaking and fell into the pool like dead skin.<\/div>\r\n \r\n

Argumentation<\/h2>\r\nThis essay type goes beyond mere informative writing. The writer must take a stand on a topic or thesis and attempt to sway the reader to agree with the claim. Logic, examples, and rhetorical devices support the writer\u2019s stance.\r\n
Example:\u00a0Steinbeck used symbolism to great effect in the Grapes of Wrath. Grapes are a recurring motif in the story and they have several symbolic meanings.<\/div>\r\n ","rendered":"
