please differentiate between essay and idea expansion... apart from length is all that same?? i mean, for example, in an argumentative essay we have to provide arguments in favor of the topic or against it and are not supposed to provide both views....

what about idea expansion is that the same way or one should provide both for and against arguments and then provide a conclusion.... since most of expansion topics are Proverbss....

Please comment on this and fix my confusion ....


thankss
