When Hal arrives at the pond, a bleak sight greets him as he discovers the surface of the skating pond is layered with snow. Realizing he is facing a monumental task, he industriously begins to shovel the mounds of new snow from the frozen pond. Lifting shovelful after shovelful of heavy wet snow, Hal tirelessly works. While he works, he dreams of his brilliant future as a magnificent hockey star. Soon a massive pile of glistening snow begins to appear on the bank, and the icy surface of the pond is smooth glass. Hal’s back and arms ache as he eagerly exchanges his work boots for an old, worn pair of hockey skates.

Narrative type of essay: narrative essays tell a story and they have a beginning, middle and an end. In this case, it is telling a story about Hal and the problem he encountered when he wanted to skate in the skating pond. Then the story narrates how he solved the problem and finally tells how the story successfully ends when he finished cleaning the skating pond and changed his shoes to skate.  

Potter's Lake used to be the nicest lake in the area. But these days the water is green with algae, and the lake is choked with weeds all summer long. As a result, people can no longer swim in it. Experts have determined the cause of the problem. Fertilizers from yards and farms have been running into the lake. They cause algae and weeds to grow out of control. They also kill birds and fish.

Persuasive type of essay: In this text the author uses persuasive language to make a stand point of why the Potter’s lake is different now. The author says “Potter’s lake used to be the nicest in the area” which means that it’s no longer like that. He also provides examples and evidence of the lake’s contamination. By mentioning that the current lake contamination is killing birds and that people cannot swim on it, the author is trying to convince the readers of his position towards the lake.  

A hard, gray mountain loomed over a serene, florescent-blue lake, which gently lapped at its granite base. Miles above the lake, a trio of mountain peaks jutted into the sky. Each seemed to be topped with a chilled scoop of vanilla ice cream. As a cold and distant Sun crept over the peaks, the lake and valley below instantly became suffused with blue light, which seemed to touch everything but warm nothing. Morning had arrived.  

Descriptive type of essay: a descriptive essay uses descriptive adjectives to provide colorful details of places, people or things. In this case, the passage is describing a landscape with mountains and water. To describe the lake for example, the author uses descriptive adjectives such as “serene, florescent-blue lake”.

Since 1897, the population of the Bachman's warbler in North Carolina has decreased from more than 500,000 to fewer than 100. The main reason is the destruction of areas (like Asbury Woodlands) that the bird uses for its natural breeding grounds. Bachman's warblers prefer thickly wooded swamps and wet thickets in heavy, full-grown forests. It’s there that they can build their nests and feed on insects.

This fact does not mean that we cannot build a community theater. We simply must not build it in Asbury Woodlands. After all, our community has forever prided itself on caring for our natural surroundings. With the council’s help and the support of our townspeople, future generations will be able to continue to appreciate the beauty of this little bird.

Expository type of essay:  An expository essay’s main objective is to inform and back up the ideas exposed with examples or statistics. In this case, the author is mentioning why the population of the Bachman’s warbler has decreased with statistics and how the environment can continue to affect its population if changes are not introduced in Asbury Woodlands.
