There are many sub-types of writing that may fall in any of those categories. A writer must know all these styles in order to identify the purpose of his or her own writing and make sure it’s something the audience wants to read.<\/p>\n Descriptive <\/strong>\u2013 The aim of descriptive writing is to help the reader visualize, in detail, a character, event, place, or all of these things at once. The author might describe the scene in terms of all five senses. Descriptive writing allows the writer a great deal more artistic freedom than expository writing does. Descriptive writing\u00a0<\/em>evokes images through rich description. Descriptive writing’s main purpose is to describe. It is a style of writing that focuses on describing a character, an event, or a place in great detail. It can be poetic when the author takes the time to be very specific in his or her descriptions.<\/p>\n Key Points:<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Narrative <\/strong>\u2013 whether that story is real or imaginary. Pieces in a narrative style will have characters, and through the narrative, the reader learns what happens to them. Narrative writing can also include dialogue. Narrative writin<\/em>g\u00a0tells a story. The author will create different characters and tell you what happens to them (sometimes the author writes from the point of view of one of the characters\u2014this is known as first person narration). Novels, short stories, novellas, poetry, and biographies can all fall in the narrative writing style. Simply, narrative writing answers the question: \u201cWhat happened then?\u201d<\/p>\n Key Points:<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Persuasive <\/strong>\u2013 The aim of persuasive writing, or argumentation, is to influence the reader to assume the author\u2019s point of view. The author will express personal opinions in the piece and arm him- or herself with evidence so that the reader will agree with him or her. Persuasive writing<\/em>\u00a0aims to sway the reader toward the author\u2019s point of view.\u00a0Persuasive writing’s main purpose is to convince. Unlike expository writing, persuasive writing contains the opinions and biases of the author. To convince others to agree with the author’s point of view, persuasive writing contains justifications and reasons. It is often used in letters of complaint, advertisements or commercials, affiliate marketing pitches, cover letters, and newspaper opinion and editorial pieces.<\/p>\n Key Points:<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Expository <\/strong>\u2013 The word\u00a0expository<\/em>\u00a0contains the word\u00a0expose<\/em>, so the reason\u00a0expository<\/em>\u00a0is an apt descriptor for this type of writing is that it exposes, or sets forth, facts. It is probably the most common writing genre you will come across throughout your day. In an expository piece, a topic will be introduced and laid out in a logical order without reference to the author\u2019s personal opinions.<\/p>\n Expository writing’s main purpose is to explain. It is a subject-oriented writing style, in which authors focus on telling you about a given topic or subject without voicing their personal opinions. These types of essays or articles furnish you with relevant facts and figures but do not include their opinions. This is one of the most common types of writing. You always see it in textbooks and how-to articles. The author just tells you about a given subject, such as how to do something. The aim is to explain and to inform. Expository writing<\/em>\u00a0sets forth facts.<\/p>\n Key Points:<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Articles<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Books<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Blogs<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Videos<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Websites<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Scientific Writing Resources \/ General Guidlines in Scientific Writing \/ Types or Styles of Writing Academic Integrity Building an Argument Critical Reading Critical Writing Figures and Tables Paragraphs\u00a0\u00a0 Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing Peer-review\u00a0 Response to Reviewers\u2019 Critiques Plagiarism Writing Tips and Tools Types or Styles of Writing How to evaluate online information resources Miscellaneous Dissertation\/ […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1643","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/initiatives.iitgn.ac.in\/scientificwriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/initiatives.iitgn.ac.in\/scientificwriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/initiatives.iitgn.ac.in\/scientificwriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/initiatives.iitgn.ac.in\/scientificwriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/initiatives.iitgn.ac.in\/scientificwriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1643"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/initiatives.iitgn.ac.in\/scientificwriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1643\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1995,"href":"https:\/\/initiatives.iitgn.ac.in\/scientificwriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1643\/revisions\/1995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/initiatives.iitgn.ac.in\/scientificwriting\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
