The words 'composition' and 'essay' are often used interchangeably, as both are literary forms. An essay is a type of composition, but a composition doesn't always have to be in the form of an essay. A composition can be a poem, short story, argumentative essay, or research paper. An essay is more specific, as it is a personal piece on a specific topic.

An essay is a paper written on a particular subject. A composition is usually the same thing as an essay, just called something different.
