One Comment on “How to Write a Well-Constructed Essay”
Hello Endia.
Your post packs one heck of a power punch with its clarity. Your are well-organized, well-researched and concise, and you provide a range of clear examples that illustrate your directions. This serves as an excellent “How-To” guide for writers because it is so easy-to-follow and can apply to all sorts of writing and assignments.
As I was reading your piece, I was wondering if you wanted to mention somewhere in the beginning the types of writing to which this framework can be applied. It might be helpful for readers to know if and when these directions will help them. Is this only academic writing? Journal-style writing? Professional/business writing? I noticed that you used MLA format for your in-text citations. Is your post about essays best used by those who use MLA format?
Also, I was wondering whether it might be helpful for readers to read “bad” examples along with your stellar examples that you cited. I like to read good examples but I LOVE to read bad examples because they are clear indicators of what I should avoid. (Sometimes it’s difficult to write a “good” intro paragraph, but when you know what a “bad” intro paragraph looks and smells like then at least you have an idea of what NOT to do.)
