As I read "Writing about popular culture" I realize that I use most of the  10 essays for each of my papers,. I used argumentive essay when I am trying to persuade people to join my side and I use cause and effect to show how things are effected through life. In the sample essay  felt that it used research essay just because it gave alot of cited information and its mission is to persuade and inform the reader. I use these ten in my writing just to guide me on my purpose of writing and to make sure I stay on the right track by using the right essay.
