"NARRATIVE ESSAY"
When writing a narrative essay, one might think of it as telling a story. These essays are often experiential, and personal - allowing students to express themselves in a creative way.

A narrative essay is written in the form of a story and clearly gives a point of view on the subject-most often that of the author

A narrative essay will use characters, plots and themes and may even include a dialogue. Each aspect of the narrative essay will revolve around the main point of essay - it’s topic.

The descriptive essay is a genre of essay that asks the student to describe something — object, person, place, experience, emotion, situation, etc. This genre encourages the student’s ability to create a written account of a particular experience. What is more, this genre allows for a great deal of artistic freedom (the goal of which is to paint an image that is vivid and moving in the mind of the reader).
