When a Prank went Wrong

By: Sara – St. Nicholas

It was a bright and beautiful day when I was walking home from school. The busy street was alive with locals trying to make a living out of selling various kinds of food. I was all alone, as usual, with no one else to be with, and I felt blissful. My friends call me weird and antisocial, but I couldn’t help it. I enjoyed having my personal time in peace and quiet. I was strolling through the market with my AirPods on my ears when all of a sudden two of my classmates showed up in front of me with a grin. 

“Hey Lee, funny to see you here,” said Joseph while scratching his thick black hair.

“Yeah Lee, do you come here often?” Bella asked, her eyes were twitching playfully.

“Hi guys,” I said while taking out one of the AirPods from my ear. “Yeah, it’s my route to home.”

“Cool,” Bella said. She then eyed Joseph for a few seconds before smiling really wide at me. “OK, the thing is, I need you to do a favor for me. I have this bicycle that is still in mint condition, and I was wondering whether or not you’d want to take it with you? I can’t take it with me anymore because my family and I are about to move into a smaller apartment, and Joseph here is not allowed to ride a bicycle. Please?”

I could not believe what I heard. Bella asked for a favor when I was the one who actually received the gift. I could not say anything else but nod with disbelief in my eyes. They then led me to the bicycle, which was parked outside of a convenience store. It was a shiny red bicycle with a lot of cool stickers on its body. It looked like the kind of bicycle that people used for the BMX competition. I looked at Bella and blabbered my gratitude. Afterwards, they just left me alone with my so-called brand new bicycle. I took and walked it by my side because I did not want to use it on such a crowded street. I was feeling like I was the luckiest man alive, until I heard the screeching scream of a man from somewhere behind me. 

I shifted my footing and turned my head to see a bald, muscular man pointing at me with all of his might. He repeatedly shouted that I was a thief while he was running toward me like a mad bull. All I could do was stand there, rooted to the ground. I tried to run away from him, but my legs were shaking like a jello as the man drew near. He was in front of me in a flash. I could feel his right hand grabbing the front of my shirt with such force that I felt like I was being lifted off the ground for a few inches. His scarred face and crooked nose was so near mine that I could practically smell his disgusting breath. 

The bulky man then tossed me aside with ease as if I was just another used rag, and grabbed the bicycle. He eyed me with disgust in his expression, and immediately dialed a number on his phone. I was so shocked that I lost track of what was going on. I hugged myself together as I started to hyperventilate in front of the towering madness. After a few minutes that seemed like an eternity, I heard the siren of the cops all around me. The next thing I knew was the inside of the police car, with my innocence being ripped apart and voice being unheard.

The Four Main Types of Essay | Quick Guide with Examples

Published on September 4, 2020 by Jack Caulfield . Revised on July 23, 2023.

An essay is a focused piece of writing designed to inform or persuade. There are many different types of essay, but they are often defined in four categories: argumentative, expository, narrative, and descriptive essays.

Argumentative and expository essays are focused on conveying information and making clear points, while narrative and descriptive essays are about exercising creativity and writing in an interesting way. At university level, argumentative essays are the most common type. 

In high school and college, you will also often have to write textual analysis essays, which test your skills in close reading and interpretation.

Argumentative essays, expository essays, narrative essays, descriptive essays, textual analysis essays, other interesting articles, frequently asked questions about types of essays.

An argumentative essay presents an extended, evidence-based argument. It requires a strong thesis statement —a clearly defined stance on your topic. Your aim is to convince the reader of your thesis using evidence (such as quotations ) and analysis.

Argumentative essays test your ability to research and present your own position on a topic. This is the most common type of essay at college level—most papers you write will involve some kind of argumentation.

The essay is divided into an introduction, body, and conclusion:

• The introduction provides your topic and thesis statement
• The body presents your evidence and arguments
• The conclusion summarizes your argument and emphasizes its importance

The example below is a paragraph from the body of an argumentative essay about the effects of the internet on education. Mouse over it to learn more.

A common frustration for teachers is students’ use of Wikipedia as a source in their writing. Its prevalence among students is not exaggerated; a survey found that the vast majority of the students surveyed used Wikipedia (Head & Eisenberg, 2010). An article in The Guardian stresses a common objection to its use: “a reliance on Wikipedia can discourage students from engaging with genuine academic writing” (Coomer, 2013). Teachers are clearly not mistaken in viewing Wikipedia usage as ubiquitous among their students; but the claim that it discourages engagement with academic sources requires further investigation. This point is treated as self-evident by many teachers, but Wikipedia itself explicitly encourages students to look into other sources. Its articles often provide references to academic publications and include warning notes where citations are missing; the site’s own guidelines for research make clear that it should be used as a starting point, emphasizing that users should always “read the references and check whether they really do support what the article says” (“Wikipedia:Researching with Wikipedia,” 2020). Indeed, for many students, Wikipedia is their first encounter with the concepts of citation and referencing. The use of Wikipedia therefore has a positive side that merits deeper consideration than it often receives.

An expository essay provides a clear, focused explanation of a topic. It doesn’t require an original argument, just a balanced and well-organized view of the topic.

Expository essays test your familiarity with a topic and your ability to organize and convey information. They are commonly assigned at high school or in exam questions at college level.

The introduction of an expository essay states your topic and provides some general background, the body presents the details, and the conclusion summarizes the information presented.

A typical body paragraph from an expository essay about the invention of the printing press is shown below. Mouse over it to learn more.

The invention of the printing press in 1440 changed this situation dramatically. Johannes Gutenberg, who had worked as a goldsmith, used his knowledge of metals in the design of the press. He made his type from an alloy of lead, tin, and antimony, whose durability allowed for the reliable production of high-quality books. This new technology allowed texts to be reproduced and disseminated on a much larger scale than was previously possible. The Gutenberg Bible appeared in the 1450s, and a large number of printing presses sprang up across the continent in the following decades. Gutenberg’s invention rapidly transformed cultural production in Europe; among other things, it would lead to the Protestant Reformation.

A narrative essay is one that tells a story. This is usually a story about a personal experience you had, but it may also be an imaginative exploration of something you have not experienced.

Narrative essays test your ability to build up a narrative in an engaging, well-structured way. They are much more personal and creative than other kinds of academic writing . Writing a personal statement for an application requires the same skills as a narrative essay.

A narrative essay isn’t strictly divided into introduction, body, and conclusion, but it should still begin by setting up the narrative and finish by expressing the point of the story—what you learned from your experience, or why it made an impression on you.

Mouse over the example below, a short narrative essay responding to the prompt “Write about an experience where you learned something about yourself,” to explore its structure.

Since elementary school, I have always favored subjects like science and math over the humanities. My instinct was always to think of these subjects as more solid and serious than classes like English. If there was no right answer, I thought, why bother? But recently I had an experience that taught me my academic interests are more flexible than I had thought: I took my first philosophy class.

Before I entered the classroom, I was skeptical. I waited outside with the other students and wondered what exactly philosophy would involve—I really had no idea. I imagined something pretty abstract: long, stilted conversations pondering the meaning of life. But what I got was something quite different.

A young man in jeans, Mr. Jones—“but you can call me Rob”—was far from the white-haired, buttoned-up old man I had half-expected. And rather than pulling us into pedantic arguments about obscure philosophical points, Rob engaged us on our level. To talk free will, we looked at our own choices. To talk ethics, we looked at dilemmas we had faced ourselves. By the end of class, I’d discovered that questions with no right answer can turn out to be the most interesting ones.

The experience has taught me to look at things a little more “philosophically”—and not just because it was a philosophy class! I learned that if I let go of my preconceptions, I can actually get a lot out of subjects I was previously dismissive of. The class taught me—in more ways than one—to look at things with an open mind.

A descriptive essay provides a detailed sensory description of something. Like narrative essays, they allow you to be more creative than most academic writing, but they are more tightly focused than narrative essays. You might describe a specific place or object, rather than telling a whole story.

Descriptive essays test your ability to use language creatively, making striking word choices to convey a memorable picture of what you’re describing.

A descriptive essay can be quite loosely structured, though it should usually begin by introducing the object of your description and end by drawing an overall picture of it. The important thing is to use careful word choices and figurative language to create an original description of your object.

Mouse over the example below, a response to the prompt “Describe a place you love to spend time in,” to learn more about descriptive essays.

On Sunday afternoons I like to spend my time in the garden behind my house. The garden is narrow but long, a corridor of green extending from the back of the house, and I sit on a lawn chair at the far end to read and relax. I am in my small peaceful paradise: the shade of the tree, the feel of the grass on my feet, the gentle activity of the fish in the pond beside me.

My cat crosses the garden nimbly and leaps onto the fence to survey it from above. From his perch he can watch over his little kingdom and keep an eye on the neighbours. He does this until the barking of next door’s dog scares him from his post and he bolts for the cat flap to govern from the safety of the kitchen.

With that, I am left alone with the fish, whose whole world is the pond by my feet. The fish explore the pond every day as if for the first time, prodding and inspecting every stone. I sometimes feel the same about sitting here in the garden; I know the place better than anyone, but whenever I return I still feel compelled to pay attention to all its details and novelties—a new bird perched in the tree, the growth of the grass, and the movement of the insects it shelters…

Sitting out in the garden, I feel serene. I feel at home. And yet I always feel there is more to discover. The bounds of my garden may be small, but there is a whole world contained within it, and it is one I will never get tired of inhabiting.

Though every essay type tests your writing skills, some essays also test your ability to read carefully and critically. In a textual analysis essay, you don’t just present information on a topic, but closely analyze a text to explain how it achieves certain effects.

Rhetorical analysis

A rhetorical analysis looks at a persuasive text (e.g. a speech, an essay, a political cartoon) in terms of the rhetorical devices it uses, and evaluates their effectiveness.

The goal is not to state whether you agree with the author’s argument but to look at how they have constructed it.

The introduction of a rhetorical analysis presents the text, some background information, and your thesis statement; the body comprises the analysis itself; and the conclusion wraps up your analysis of the text, emphasizing its relevance to broader concerns.

The example below is from a rhetorical analysis of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech . Mouse over it to learn more.

King’s speech is infused with prophetic language throughout. Even before the famous “dream” part of the speech, King’s language consistently strikes a prophetic tone. He refers to the Lincoln Memorial as a “hallowed spot” and speaks of rising “from the dark and desolate valley of segregation” to “make justice a reality for all of God’s children.” The assumption of this prophetic voice constitutes the text’s strongest ethical appeal; after linking himself with political figures like Lincoln and the Founding Fathers, King’s ethos adopts a distinctly religious tone, recalling Biblical prophets and preachers of change from across history. This adds significant force to his words; standing before an audience of hundreds of thousands, he states not just what the future should be, but what it will be: “The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.” This warning is almost apocalyptic in tone, though it concludes with the positive image of the “bright day of justice.” The power of King’s rhetoric thus stems not only from the pathos of his vision of a brighter future, but from the ethos of the prophetic voice he adopts in expressing this vision.

Literary analysis

A literary analysis essay presents a close reading of a work of literature—e.g. a poem or novel—to explore the choices made by the author and how they help to convey the text’s theme. It is not simply a book report or a review, but an in-depth interpretation of the text.

Literary analysis looks at things like setting, characters, themes, and figurative language. The goal is to closely analyze what the author conveys and how.

The introduction of a literary analysis essay presents the text and background, and provides your thesis statement; the body consists of close readings of the text with quotations and analysis in support of your argument; and the conclusion emphasizes what your approach tells us about the text.

Mouse over the example below, the introduction to a literary analysis essay on Frankenstein , to learn more.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is often read as a crude cautionary tale about the dangers of scientific advancement unrestrained by ethical considerations. In this reading, protagonist Victor Frankenstein is a stable representation of the callous ambition of modern science throughout the novel. This essay, however, argues that far from providing a stable image of the character, Shelley uses shifting narrative perspectives to portray Frankenstein in an increasingly negative light as the novel goes on. While he initially appears to be a naive but sympathetic idealist, after the creature’s narrative Frankenstein begins to resemble—even in his own telling—the thoughtlessly cruel figure the creature represents him as. This essay begins by exploring the positive portrayal of Frankenstein in the first volume, then moves on to the creature’s perception of him, and finally discusses the third volume’s narrative shift toward viewing Frankenstein as the creature views him.

At high school and in composition classes at university, you’ll often be told to write a specific type of essay , but you might also just be given prompts.

Look for keywords in these prompts that suggest a certain approach: The word “explain” suggests you should write an expository essay , while the word “describe” implies a descriptive essay . An argumentative essay might be prompted with the word “assess” or “argue.”

The vast majority of essays written at university are some sort of argumentative essay . Almost all academic writing involves building up an argument, though other types of essay might be assigned in composition classes.

Essays can present arguments about all kinds of different topics. For example:

• In a literary analysis essay, you might make an argument for a specific interpretation of a text
• In a history essay, you might present an argument for the importance of a particular event
• In a politics essay, you might argue for the validity of a certain political theory

An argumentative essay tends to be a longer essay involving independent research, and aims to make an original argument about a topic. Its thesis statement makes a contentious claim that must be supported in an objective, evidence-based way.

An expository essay also aims to be objective, but it doesn’t have to make an original argument. Rather, it aims to explain something (e.g., a process or idea) in a clear, concise way. Expository essays are often shorter assignments and rely less on research.

The key difference is that a narrative essay is designed to tell a complete story, while a descriptive essay is meant to convey an intense description of a particular place, object, or concept.

Narrative and descriptive essays both allow you to write more personally and creatively than other kinds of essays , and similar writing skills can apply to both.

Paragraph on A Prank

Students are often asked to write a paragraph on A Prank in their schools. And if you’re also looking for the same, we have created 100-word, 200-word, and 250-word paragraphs on the topic.

Let’s take a look…

Paragraph on A Prank in 100 Words

A prank is a trick that is meant to be funny and not hurt anyone. Imagine you put a whoopee cushion on a chair. When someone sits on it, it makes a loud, silly sound like a fart. That person might jump up, surprised, and then everyone laughs. Pranks are like jokes but with actions. They should always be kind and make everyone giggle, not feel sad or scared. It’s important to think about whether your friend will find it funny too. Good pranks make everyone, even the person who got tricked, laugh and have a good time together. Remember, smiles are the best part of any prank.

Paragraph on A Prank in 200 Words

Paragraph on a prank in 250 words.

A prank is a playful trick played on someone, usually to make people laugh and have fun, but it’s important to make sure that it doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings. Imagine it’s April Fools’ Day, the one day of the year where almost everyone is plotting a silly joke or a harmless trick to surprise their friends. Picture a classic school prank: someone puts a whoopee cushion on the teacher’s chair. The whole class waits, trying hard not to giggle as the teacher walks towards the chair. She sits down, and a loud, funny noise fills the room. Everyone bursts into laughter, even the teacher, because it’s all in good spirits.

There are many kinds of pranks, from the simple ones, like jumping out from behind a door to startle someone, to the more creative, like filling a room with balloons. But the key to a good prank is to keep it friendly and light. It should never be mean or cause someone to feel sad or scared. For example, you wouldn’t want to hide your friend’s favorite toy and make them think it’s lost forever. That’s not fun for them.

That’s it! I hope the paragraphs have helped you.

14 texting pranks to play on your unsuspecting friends

Everyone has a phone on them, which means lucky for you, everyone is susceptible to a classic text message prank.

The art of pranking has seen a lot of growth with the rise of technology — but the days of prank phone calls or farting noise apps are already long gone. Sorry to break it to you, but the same old jokes aren't going to cut it anymore.

These days, texting pranks requires a subtle cunningness to throw your target off guard. You don't have to resort to digitally cloning yourself to expertly prank someone. Thanks to smartphones, you have all you need in your pocket. With a few seconds and some pre-planning, you can become the master of text message pranks that you've always dreamed of being. Here are some of our favorites to pull out in times of need.

1. Take advantage of the shortcut feature

The most underutilized function of the shortcut feature is for texting pranks. Sure, you can adjust your settings to turn a quick "omw" into "on my way!" or you can sneak into a friend's phone and change "lol" to the lyrics of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" or whatever you see fit.

Just go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement , and go wild.

2. GIFs are a prankster's best friend

If you don't know what to say, sometimes the best thing to do is respond with a GIF. The same thought process can be applied to pranks — but unfortunately this one only works for iPhone users.

The texting bubble is an anxiety-riddling sight, but try texting your friend a GIF of one. They'll be staring at the phone wondering what in the world is taking you so long to respond, and it'll take them way too long to realize that you've actually just sent a GIF.

Here's where you can download the texting bubble.

3. Horrify your grammar-enthusiast friend

In a similar vein of replacing shortcut words, iPhones make it easy to change up some words that will drive the grammar enthusiast in your life crazy. Add a shortcut that switches words like "you're" to "your" or "too" to "two."

4. Transform yourself into a bot

This texting prank requires the utmost dedication and isn't something that can necessarily be pre-planned, but it's worth it. Craft a message that can easily be mistaken for a bot and when a friend texts, copy and paste your drafted statement as a response over and over again until the jig is up.

5. Get lyrical

This texting prank has been floating around on social media for awhile, but keeps coming back because the results are sometimes that good. Pick a song, any song — preferably one with questions or short sentences — and find a poor soul in your contact list to slowly text lyrics to, one by one.

It's a slow burner but it's worth it. Just don't get caught!

Tweet may have been deleted

6. Sign them up for a text list

Everyone from Kathy Griffin to activists have texting lists that you can sign up for. Do your friend a favor and prank them by alerting them to the latest comedy shows or protests going on in their area. They'll be so confused, and while you might not be there to see the look of confusion, knowing the feeling will be there is what's important.

7. Change contact names

This prank is not for the faint of heart. If you're brave enough, a funny thing to do is switch names of contacts in a friend's phone. Try changing your name to "Mom" and see the hilarious messages roll in.

Don't do it too long or you'll ruin a good thing, but fair warning: If you've got friends who gossip a lot via text though, this might not be the one for you.

8. Any one of Nathan Fielder's text pranks

For years, the Nathan For You star has been tweeting texting pranks. He asks his fans to tweet out the reactions to said prank, and the results are 10/10 hilarious. Here are a couple to try out first:

9. The power of Airdrop

Sorry, Android users, this one is also strictly for the iPhone folks.

Airdrops are underutilized tools that have plenty of prank capacity. Try sending a random funny photo to a friend out of context and watch their face light up across the room — just please, if you try this with strangers, do *not* Airdrop them inappropriate photos, thank you very much.

However, with the right image, it can be the perfect prank. Case in point:

10. The old wallpaper switcharoo

There are two ways to go with this prank: after moving the first page of apps to a second page, you can download an image of a fake cracked screen and make that your friend's wallpaper. Or, as suggested by BuzzFeed , you can replace their wallpaper with a screenshot of their normal home screen. With all their real apps on the second page, your friend will be tapping away to no avail.

11. Send them a "ghost" photo

Did you know there are apps that can add faux ghosts to your pics? Well now you do, available on both   Android and iOS .

Your friend may be too freaked out to realize it's April 1 and a joke.

12. Re-send them the same thing over and over

Is this the most creative prank? Absolutely not. But it will be effective. Just send your friend the same phrase over and over, dozens of times, with no explanation. It's bound to annoy them. When they ask what's happening either keep sending the phrase, say it was a weird connection, or go silent.

13. Send them a turtle climbing out of a briefcase

This is an idea cribbed from the Netflix show Master of None . But if you send someone a photo of a turtle climbing out of a briefcase, then follow with "whoops wrong person," it's bound to leave them confused. It's not hard to find the picture in question .

14. Never responding to your text messages

The loneliest prank of them all.

A Prank – Kendric Hwang

Imagine being presented with a composition prompt titled, “A Prank”:

What is the first story idea that comes to your mind? Does simply writing a story about playing a prank on your classmate work? What will your child have to do to create a “good composition”?

Modern and relatable contexts

In this composition, Kendric has incorporated something many are familiar with (especially during Phase 2: Heightened Alert): food delivery .

Effective Characterisation

To bring out the essence of a prank, Kendric highlights his character’s sense of mischief using characterisation: including his character’s thoughts and actions.

Define Key Words

It is also particularly important to take note of key words in the title . A “prank” is a practical joke or a mischievous act. Therefore, it is crucial that the main character does not mean the “victim” any harm. Practical jokes are carried out with the sole purpose of having fun.

Using Precise Verbs and Slowing Down Scenes

To describe the actions of his characters, Kendric used precise rather than simple verbs in his writing. Additionally, Kendric slowed down important scenes to create suspense. This allows the reader to picture what is happening in the story.

At LiteracyPlus, we encourage pupils to use precise verbs and slow down exciting scenes in their writing. Additionally, students learn characterisation. This is done by incorporating the thoughts, actions, appearance and speeches of their characters. Splendid effort, Kendric!

Essay-Paragraph on “The Prank” English Composition in 200 words for kids and Students of Classes 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, College and Competitive Exams.

Peter was a mischievous boy. He loved playing pranks on his classmates. Sometimes, he annoyed them so much that they would scold him. He would pretend to be sorry but he would be playing pranks again.

Once, Peter helped his English teacher to take the books to the staff room. When he was gone, a group of boys sprang into action. They squeezed colourful paint onto Peter’s seat. It was a trick that he had played on them many times. They giggled nonstop as they drew a smiley face on the seat. They knew that Peter never looked at his seat before he sat down. They were right. When Peter came back to the classroom, he sat down on his seat immediately. The next lesson had already begun. During the lesson, Peter had to answer a question on the whiteboard. When he walked up, the whole class burst out laughing. They were hysterical. There was a smiley face on Peter’s shorts. Peter was dumbfounded when he heard everyone laughing. Even his teacher was smiling. He looked behind him and noticed the picture on his shorts. Peter was so embarrassed that he ran to the toilet.

His teacher got a new pair of shorts from the general office for him. After the incident, Peter resolved not to play pranks on his classmates again.
