Essay Type

I think the essay im writing is an Exploratory Essay. This is because "You don't necessarily know how you feel about a subject or what you want to say about the subject, you allow the research and your own direction to determine the outcome." I really don't know the direction the essay is taking and im letting it flow by itself.
