An author’s expository essay goes into detail of their
point of view of a topic they wish to relay to their readers. The author writes
based on experiences and prior knowledge. Their attitude toward a topic can be
felt throughout the essay. They can choose to entertain or communicate a sense
of urgency to address a matter. The writer basically expresses a problem along
with a solution. This can be indicated in the thesis statement that captures
the attention of the reader. The cited information presented in the essay is factual
and is supported by extensive research by reliable sources. The author considers
their audience and strategically chooses words that relay their points. One purpose
is to convince or persuade the reader to agree to the viewpoints. Another purpose
is to inform the reader of goings on around the world. Also, it assists in
building correlations of cause and effect with the intention to make a change. Essentially
an expository essay can be used to argue and persuade which can be elaborated
on by including statistics.
