How do different writing styles affect reader engagement?

What are the main differences between narrative and expository writing styles?

Narrative writing tells a story with characters and a plot, while expository writing explains facts or ideas clearly.

Can you give examples of when to use each style?

Use narrative style in fiction or personal stories, and expository style in essays or informative articles.

How does tone influence these writing styles?

Tone shapes the reader's perception; a humorous tone in narrative can engage, while a formal tone in expository conveys authority.

Are there any writing styles that combine elements of both?

Yes, creative non-fiction blends narrative storytelling with factual information, engaging readers while informing them.
