Essay Styles EXPOSITORY
GOAL: to provide information; to objectively EXPLAIN, define,
clarify or interpret… UNIQUENESSES:
doesn’t require an argument! Just tell it like it is!
PERSUASIVE GOAL:
to take a specific stance on an issue in order to CONVINCE the reader to adopt your way of thinking; to anticipate opposing viewpoints and refute via counter-argument
UNIQUENESSES: biased! Takes ONE side and defends that side ONLY!!
Never supports the opposition, not even for a minute.

Essay Styles Con’t
The third style of essay is, perhaps, brand new to you… DISCURSIVE (most advanced…pros and cons, oh
my!) GOAL:
asks you to consider BOTH sides of a single issue, objectively analyzing each before arriving at any kind of value judgment.
Basic Layout: Begin with a neutral introduction, provide evidence
for the case, provide evidence against the case, conclude by either adopting one side of the argument or maintaining a neutral (middle-of-the- road) standpoint.
