If you into an AP English Language Composition class. You'll learn the basics of all types of essays, but for now I'll answer to you. Literary Essay and Argument Essay are similar because they provide not just a claim where you on sides to believe, but also provide evidence based, on the documents they give you, memory/physical thoughts if you know the topic, and also the sophistication of how you write the essay itself. The only differences is that literary is usually based, on the documents they give you and you decide on what position it does; While, argument essay is usually based on your memory of what you know about the topic, but also the same thing about what you decide on what position. When writing, you'll see it similar by your claim of the topic, as well as giving evidence of an analysis.
