The essay is a weird conundrum. I believe the essay is a work which allows for a personal connection. The article is more fact based and has less emotion behind it. The essay can get in your face and provide a story and something exciting to read. Paul Heilker makes many points towards how the essay is an art form of free expression. The most important part in my opinion is that the exploratory essay can be private thoughts and you control who reads them. Articles are more focused on reaching others who are not on a personal level with the author.
In terms of essays I would like to read, there are so many options. My first choice would one that was light in tone, maybe containing a personal story. I want to be able to connect with the writer. In order for that to happen, the work must have been written with their full heart and soul. I like essays that make me think as well. I don't want to hear random facts that I already know. For example, I want to see an essay that explains how music is connected to wildlife. This is just a random option, but still, I would be excited for it.
