WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DESCRIPTIVE ESSAY AND A TRADITIONAL ESSAY?

While writing a descriptive essay involves the same techniques that you would use when you write a traditional academic essay, several critical differences exist between a traditional essay and a descriptive essay. First, when writing a descriptive essay, it is very rare that you will use sources. Second, writing a descriptive essay does not require the same type of analysis that you would make use of when presenting sources in a traditional academic essay. Third, writing a descriptive essay means that you will not be using a formal and explicit thesis of the same type that you when writing a traditional academic essay. You will instead write a descriptive essay by focusing on a key element of what you are describing as your thesis. Finally, writing a descriptive essay means that you are deviating from the traditional essay model as you might occasionally use the first person to refer to how what you are describing relates back to you.
