I was taught to write the best argument then least important after and then at the end summarize again your main argument. You want the reader to think that your points are interesting, the arguments that are not so important I would just stick to the basic points I would not go into useless detail about them (main points).\nbut it can also depend on who is marking your work and what that teacher likes, ask them if you can.

Develop your own essay writing strategy \n\nFocus on the essay title \n\nDo multiple drafts. \n\nDo not pad. Try to ensure that everything you include is relevant to the essay title. \n\nInclude other opinions. Show that you have considered different sides to the question by discussing points of view that contradict your own. \n\nShow what you have read. \n\nWrite simply. \n\nUse technical terms correctly. \n\nFully reference what you write. \n\nPlan to finish your essay ahead of time.

Titles usually come once the thesis is finished. What your prof probably wants is a clear, concise theory statement.

If the work has a title, the title should be italicized, e.g. Michaelangelo's _David_.  If it does not have an actual title, but you give it one for convenience in your paper, put the erstwhile title in quotes, e.g. Smith's "Grassy Field."\n\nThere are many different "style guides" that tell how to handle the technical aspects of a research paper.  Also, professors will sometimes name a journal who's style should be followed.  It is best to ask your professor.\n\nTwo of the most commonly used style guides are the ASA and MLA style guides.  If you are going to be writing papers, it may be worthwhile to get a copy of one.  The MLA guide is probably used more widely.

A book title would be in italics; underlined in a research paper. A short story would be in quotations. (as you can see these conventions are not strictly adhered to on the Internet, but in the publishing world they are--)

First you need to research your topic, then you need to outline your gathered information. Usually a paragraph will have a topic sentence, three body sentences supporting your topic and a transition sentence. You can use that format until you're done with your essay. Happy writing, you lucky dog!!!!

yes, the punctuation is correct, however the sentence is very informal, so if it is for an essay I'd change it to make it more formal.

Every essay has a theme or topic. If your essay is an opinion essay, that is if they asked your opinion about anything (e.i. Do you feel arts help shape culture?), then yes, you should start "i think that..." or "I believe that..." or perhaps "I feel that..". If your essay is not an opinion essay (e.i. How does art shape culture?), then you must NEVER EVER use first person pronouns. Talk in third person.

Are you talking about a certain situation or are you doing an essay of some sort?

What will you be addressing in your essay?  I'm assuming you are addressing the pros/cons?  \n\nAdd more detail to your question and I will come back and respond.

My advice for editing: a kindergartener called you a low-life inferior? use a more realistic term there... I don't know what the relevance is of the summer heat... "run" should be "ran". Get rid of the "of courses". First off, it is redundant to start two sentences in the same way back-to-back, and secondly it indicates a tone a little too casual for the essay. fix "going busting", change "can" to "could" (don't change tenses). "remembered" should be "remember", "hide" should be "hiding" .\n\nAside from all proofreading, I hate to tell you that the point of the story is moot. It is a great idea to use a story to illustrate something about yourself for college apps, but make sure that the story is applicable to what you're trying to say about yourself!\nA story about an elementary school fight is hard to relate to an epiphany about trying hard in school. Sure, you were berated, but not in a way that relates to your level of education necessarily. Maybe say something about your mother telling you to always try hard in school so that you can lift yourself to a higher place in society?\nGood luck with northeastern (if you choose it)! both my girlfriend and best friend attend, and they love it!

It depends on what your professor/teacher/instructor is requiring. It could be Chicago, APA, or MLA style.  Or it could be a style used in medical, legal or biological essays.\n\nSome good sites for making bibliographies\nPurdue OWL - http://owl.english.purdue.edu/\nDiane Hacker - http://www.dianahacker.com/resdoc/

If this is the essay for your college entrance (and I am guessing it is, you are usually asked a personal opinion question, not a research question.  If it is personal opinion there is no need for formatting.  If they want strict MLA format, that is a header, a heading, a title and a double spaced essay with parenthetical citations and a Works Cited at the bottom.  Usually a one page essay would abe about 500 words in 11 point font, double spaced.
