Thematic essays only require you to use supporting facts and details from primary sources or prior knowledge of the facts.

Answer:

The type of essay that does not require you to examine and analyze secondary source documents is the narrative essay.

Step-by-step explanation:

Narrative essays are pieces of writing that tell about a story or experience but they differ from short stories in the sense that they are written in a specific tone and format, whereas short stories are not.

Main characteristics of the narrative essay:

  • It is written in the first person narrative (autobiographical or on behalf of someone else, or an object or animal)
  • It always revolves around a motif (a central or main point)
  • There are characters, incidents and even dialogues - these elements are always present, and all of them revolve around the presented motif
  • It generally has a five-paragraph format
  • As it is a narrative of experience or anecdote, it does not need external sources to refer to as in other types of essay writing
  • Unlike short stories, narrative essays do not leave the reader critically unaware of the ending or with the desire to know more
  • The narrative of personal experience always teaches the readers a lesson which has been learned throught that experience.
