Compare and contrast essays examine the similarities and differences between two or more topics. Cause and effect essays analyze how something happens and why. Problem and solution essays require identifying an issue and considering multiple solutions and outcomes.
Biographies Vs Autobiographies
A biography is a story of someone's life written by another person from a second or third person perspective, using facts and interpretation to present who the subject was and how they influenced the world. An autobiography differs in that it is written by the subject about their own life experiences from a first person perspective without outside influence on the story. Biographers research materials like diaries and letters to present an objective but not always perfectly balanced account, while an autobiography allows one to share their life story from their own point of view.

A piece of writing where the author explores a particular time, place, person, or event. The narrative (story) is told strictly from memory of the author.
