<strong>Descriptive</strong><br />
A descriptive essay is a writing which explains in a detailed<br />
way an event, person or something named main topic, so that<br />
the reader will be able to comprehend the text by using the<br />
imagination. According to Hamilton (2011), “a descriptive<br />
essay paints a portrait in words. Its purpose is to bring to life,<br />
on the page, an event, experience, person, place, or process.<br />
<strong>Descriptive</strong> essays go by a variety of different names:<br />
expository (which “exposes” a topic through description),<br />
narration (which tells a brief anecdote or story), description<br />
(which evokes a mood through a description of a place),<br />
process analysis (which tells how to do something, step by<br />
step)” (p.78).
