•Your
essay can be a prose, nonfiction composition that deals with a single
topic. It may be instructive, informational, persuasive; exploring
people, places, historical events and personalities, new ideas,
how-to, or personal experience. This genre usually appears in magazines,
newspapers, and journals and often involves research.
•Your
essay can be entertaining, reflective, inspiring, philosophic, witty,
poetic, or all of these at once and expresses a personal attitude.
•Your
essay can describe an inspirational personal experience. Such pieces
are faith-promoting, nonfiction narratives that demonstrate personal
insight, reveal heroic conduct, or show personal stamina; the central
character often experiences an epiphany that results in life-altering
action.
•Your
essay can relate an anecdote. Anecdotes are short narratives detailing
particulars of an interesting true episode. It is often biographical
and dramatizes a situation of human interest. Slice of life, reflections,
and fillers are also appropriate entries in this category.
