Satire has been around as long as people have been. Have you ever really listened to some of the nursery rhymes? “Ring around the rosy, pocket full of posies. Ashes, ashes, we all fall down!” That was a satire in rhyme of the black plague! Or “Rock a by baby, in the tree top. When the wind blows, the cradle will rock. When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall. And down will come baby, cradle and all!” Nice little lullaby, right? Wrong. It was a political satire, in rhyme, about an illegitimate king and the planned revolution to unseat him. Often rhymes and fairytales were used as political satire when a government wouldn’t permit actual objections. Satire essays were also used to illustrate the anger or even the humor than some citizens felt toward those who ruled them.

Hence, the term “exploratory”. This means that the topic should be thoroughly explored without bias.

A classification essay is an essay in which one organizes things into categories and then provides examples for each category. The entire structure of the classification essay is built around these categories. For instance, if you were to write an essay about traveling, you could classify the subject into different objectives of travel such as sight-seeing, information seeking, family vacations etc. In the introduction to your essay itself, begin with a thesis statement describing the number of types a particular thing can be classified into according to its properties. For instance, if we were to take the traveling example, your thesis statement can be something like: ‘People travel for different reasons during the year. Some seek pleasure, some go for sightseeing; some others also travel to gather information.’
