He/she might describe a person, place, object or a significant memory. In a descriptive essay the writer should be able to show with the use of words all details about a particular thing or event. It needs to be visualized in such a way that when the reader reads the content, imaginative questions are answered. The aim and objective of descriptive essays is to ensure that the readers feel well informed about what is being described.

Narrative essays: Narrative essays are written most times in the form of storytelling. It could be a story about a real life experience.
