Kinds
Depending on the content, form and style of presentation, literary theorists distinguish various types of essays:
artistic, historical, spiritual and religious;
stories, letters, diaries, reviews, notes, miniatures;
descriptive, narrative, critical, analytical;
subjective, objective.
The boundaries of the essay as a genre are conditional, therefore, to reveal the topic, the author can use a free style of presentation, sharing impressions and judgments regarding a particular phenomenon, subject or global trends, large-scale events.
Simulating a conversation with a reader
The next thing I would like to mention is that when creating an essay, there is a kind of imitation of a live conversation with the reader, which should be led, encouraged by various questions, and raised burning topics in such a way, as if you are in front of him here and now. The author's monologue should be outside of space and time, filled with live speech turns. Writing essays on literature involves a significant creative element. A trusting, friendly style of communication should be established with the reader. To do this, the author must deliberately avoid obscure, complex, overly strict constructions. At the same time, formulaic phrases, slang, abbreviated words should be excluded from use, as well as an overly frivolous tone should be avoided. As the researchers note, a good essay can only be created by someone who owns the topic freely, is able to see it from different angles, and is also ready to present the reader with a multidimensional, but not exhaustive, view of this phenomenon.
