Summary – Argumentative vs Expository Essay
An argumentative essay is a piece of writing through which the writer tries to convince his view to the audience. It is usually written in the first person point of view and includes the writer’s opinion on the subject matter. An expository essay, however, is a piece of writing that contains factual information. Unlike argumentative essays, these essays are written in the third-person point of view and should not include personal opinions. So, this is the summary of the difference between an argumentative and an expository essay.
