When writing essays, I’ve at times been at odds with my parents on how to “correctly” write. My father in particular believes that essays are not “creative writing pieces,” dislikes the use of stories and anecdotes, and thinks that any kind of “flowery” language does not belong. However, pretty much all essays that I’ve seen that are decent tend to have some of these qualities. I’m worried that my essays are going to turn out very, very dry.

Although I’m sure that there are a huge variety of ways to write for these essays, what type of style is most suitable to use?
