Function of A Process Essay

A process essay provides readers with a descriptive explanation of how to complete a process in 3 sentences or fewer. It aims to inform readers about a process in an engaging way so they can recreate or make something. While not imperative instructions, it uses lively language to fully describe each step in a positive tone to maintain reader interest and encourage enthusiasm for completing the process. The tone an author takes can indicate their attitude toward the subject matter, with positive words creating a supportive tone and negative words implying criticism or lack of enjoyment.

Function of a Process Essay

A process essay gives reader a sense of complete how-to-do process


of making or creating some objects or things.
Readers, after going through the essay, are able to create and make
things.
Although it is not like imperative instructions, it gives full details in a
descriptive or prescriptive mode.
It is because its major objective is not to present trite and dry
instructions, but lively language to make readers read it with interest
and do the act with enthusiasm.

Tone of a Process Essay

Tone is the author’s attitude toward a subject. While journalistic writing


theoretically has a tone of distance and objectivity, all other writing can have
various tones.
If we were to read a description of a first date that included words and phrases
like “dreaded” and “my buddies forced me to go on the date”, we could assume
that the individual didn’t really enjoy the date.
