Read the following selection from “Winter Mist” by Robert Palfrey Utter. Then, answer the questions that follow. I like pond skating best by moonlight. The hollow among the hills will always have a bit of mist about it, let the sky be clear as it may. The moonlight, which seems so lucid and brilliant when you look up, is all pearl and smoke round the pond and the hills. The shore that was like iron under your heel as you came down to the ice is vague, when you look back at it from the center of the pond, as the memory of a dream. The motion is like flying in a dream; you float free and the world floats under you; your velocity is without effort and without accomplishment, for, speed as you may, you leave nothing behind and approach nothing. From what type of essay was this selection taken? A. expository B. narrative C. reflective D. persuasive
An expository essay, gives information to the reader that is not clouded by the writer's opinions. A narrative essay is simply a personal story, and we all have at least a few of these to tell. A reflective essay is a piece of writing that basically involves your views and feelings about a particular subject. A persuasive essay is an essay used to convince a reader about a particular idea, usually one that you believe in.
So, after reading this passage, what's your best option? :)
