A descriptive essay is exactly what it sounds like. In this type of essay, you will be asked to describe something. Unlike the expository essay, this type of essay allows for much more artistic freedom as the main idea is to create an image in the reader's mind.

The descriptive essay provides details about how something looks, feels, tastes, smells, makes one feel, or sounds. It can also describe what something is, or how something happened. These essays generally use a lot of sensory details. The essay could be a list-like description that provides point by point details. Or, it could function as a story, keeping the reader interested in the plot and theme of the event described.
