In a persuasive essay, you are trying to persuade somebody to do something or believe something

In an expository essay, you are investigating an idea, and sets forth an argument

hope this helps

In a persuasive essay, the writer tries to convince the reader to agree with the point of view presented, while in an expository essay, the writer describes and explains all sides of a topic or issue
