3. Expository
Essays: Just the Facts
The expository essay is an informative piece of writing that presents a balanced analysis of a topic. In an expository essay, the writer explains or defines a topic, using facts, statistics, and examples.
Expository writing encompasses a wide range of essay variations, such as:
- the comparison and contrast essay,
- the cause and effect essay,
- and the “how to” or process essay.
Because expository essays are based on facts and not personal feelings, writers don’t reveal their emotions or write in the first person.
