THE ESSAY

The explaination of this essay is retrieved from Chapter 8 page 100-101

Writing an Essay



An essay is a piece of writing several paragraphs long instead of just one or two paragraphs. It is written about one topic, just as a paragraph is. However, the topic of an essay is too complex to discuss in one paragraph. Therefore, you must divide the topic into several paragraphs, one for each major point. Then you must tie all of the separate paragraphs together by adding an introduction and a conclusion.

An essay has three main parts:
1. An introductory paragraph
2. A body(at least one, but usually two or more paragraphs)
3. A concluding paragraph
