narration is in the first person.\n\nI am qualified for this job because etc etc etc, there was this one time I showed leadership skills when I etc etc etc..If I was in your company this is how I would contribute so on and so forth.\n\nkeep it brief, no one wants to read a long rambling essay, but make it long enough to highlight all your good points.

The best tip I ever got about writing anything was to divide it (be it a report, a story, an essay etc.,) into three parts.  1.  The beginning.  2.   The Middle.  3. The End.   It is surprising how many people get them mixed up.\n\nSimple example:  Once upon a time.....she lived in a castle...a prince took her away......they lived happily ever after.       \n\nNever failed for me at School.

Telling a story as if you are an outsider and know what all characters at thinking and doing.  \nFirst person is telling a story as if a biography (Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn is in first person).  Obviously, you cannot know what other characters are thinking or doing when away from this character.\nSecond person is telling a story as if the person you are addressing is doing something (this is very rare, the only time I've even seen it was a "make your own adventure" where you read a bit, then were given a decision to make, sending you different locations in the book depending on what decision you made).\nThird person is telling about other people.  (The teller is always "first", the person being talked to is "second", others elsewhere are "third").  You can tell the story as if the narrator knows everything going on, or as if not knowing what is going on away from your characters (I think it's called "restricted", but I'm not sure).

in the first paragraph, introduce the piece. make a brief statement about everything you will cover.include a thesis statment, or a sentence that sums up the whole piece. you should have at least 5 paragraphs. in the middle paragraphsm go over specific parts of what you are trying to say in great detail. example-if you are writing about a musical, you might have one paragraoph where you explain the plot, one for actors, one for songs, etc. in your conclusion, you should remind your reader of everything they learned and repeat the thesis in slightly different words.

Write a detailed description of whta it would be like to be in the jungle of Vietnam with napalm and agent orange and the Vietcong. Incorporate some story with characters and make the battle and death pertinent to a main character. Or you could write it from the perspective of a Vietnamese child or a member of the Vietcong. You'll have to do a little bit of research about the roles of the things I mentioned in order to make it true to the Vietnam War history.

What is the actual structure of an essay?\nHere is what the classic Five Paragraph Essay looks like:\n\nParagraph One: The Introduction\n\nIn this section you want to start with a hook: a sentence that will grab your reader's attention and get that reader interested in reading therest of the piece. You will want to give a little information about the points that you will be discussing. An introduction is a guide for the reader: a summary of what the rest of the piece is about. At the end of the first paragraph, you whould have a thesis statement that summarizes the main point that you will make. If you are writing apaper on literature, you will want to include the title, the author and the genre. You also might want to mention your three main points within your thesis. Finally, you might want to consider writing the opening paragraph after you have written the rest of the piece. Why? Because you know what is in the body of the essay and you will be better able to write a good thesis statement at that point. . \n\nParagraph Two: The First Topic \n\nEach body paragraph must begin with a topic sentence. A topic sentence will quickly summarize the content of the body paragraph while also link that body paragraph back to the thesis. Within this body paragrah, you will discuss the evidence you have to support your ideas. Maks sure you correctly cite your sources! Also, be sure to present your information in a logical order. \n\nParagraph Three: The Second Topic \n\nSame as Paragraph Two. Choose one of the topics that you mentioned and write about it. Be sure to cite sources to show that you have been doing research. \n\nParagraph Four: The Third Topic \n\nSame as Paragraphs Two and Three. Choose one of the topics that you mentioned and write about it. Be sure to cite sources to show that you have been doing research. \n\nParagraph Five: The Closing \n\nA conclusion can be just as important as the introduction. Always keep in mind that you are trying to convince your reader of something, and the best way to bring your reader around to your way of thinking is to give the impression that you totally understand this topic and you know what you are talking about. Let your reader know that you are now an expert on this topic. If you can, use the same "language" as in your first "grabbing" sentence so that the first paragraph and this one seem to "frame" your ideas and make them hold together.\n\nWhen you are writing, remember that you should have smooth transition sentences between your paragraphs that help one idea flow into another and thus make the paper easier to read. Don't know how to make a transition sentence? Check with your English teacher for advice.

Depends on how long the finished product is supposed to be.  I would not give introduction and conclusion more than 5% of the words each, so that the meat of the document is definitely the meat.  The sandwich is not the bread, after all; the intro and conclusion are just to make it easier for the reader to scan first to get the sense of the essay.  Since your teacher is condemned to read the entire thing, no sense in making a lot out of the bread in the sandwich.\n\nWhile they should be short in length, they should be the most polished parts of the essay, as much to show that you understand the point of your essay yourself as for any other reason.  Every essay has to have a point: what are you trying to get across, really?  A professor of mine once started his classes by saying he would tell us everything three times:  First he will tell us what he is going to tell us, then he will tell us, and finally he will tell us what he told us.  That is, first the statement of what you intend to show (the intro), then the body of the essay, with the evidence for your thesis, and the logic and discussion.  Finally (in conclusion), put the whole thing into a succinct summary that shows you have successfully demonstrated that which you stated you would.

You could probably go down the path of writing, but the first piece that youve written needs work. It has some nice lines in it, but it doesn't flow perfectly, and there are some weaker lines that could be changed. Try not to use cliches such as "souls collide", and be careful not to jump back and forth between past and present tense. Aim to make everything you say relevant. It can be metaphorical or abstract of course, but some of your references seem a bit random, such as "so much wind" at the beginning. Also the repetition of the word "life" in the first 2 lines sounds a bit funny.\n\nDont take offense, just trying to help!

1) Assess your audience\n2) Try to create 3 main points. Humans can remember things in 3s very easily\n3) Support your statements\n\nOH YEA, it helps to smile, and like the poster below me says, it doesnt hurt to tell a joke or life story related to the speech. give the audience something they can relate to.\n\nMost of all, practice, practice, practice.

You need to learn the difference between a question and a statement.  I have no idea what you're asking.  It sounds like you've copied something from a school paper and we're automatically supposed to give you a huge essay.\n\nPlease take the time to be literate and coherent, and you can probably receive the help you seek.

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!

I would do it like this:\n\nperson 1: blabbity\nperson 2: blah\n\nJust do two lines with person 1 at the top and person 2 on the bottom.  Do it one sentence at a time.  It might be tedious, but that's the best way I can think of to give your friend full access to what is going on.

Come up with a general thesis, like "Evil exists because of humans" or something like that. Then find your sources. Write a long paragraph based on the information from each source that pertains to that thesis. Then, put the paragraphs from each source in some sort of order, based on how they flow the best. Then, in between each paragraph, fill in with more paragraphs that combine ideas with one another, so that they flow. If you used, say, 6 sources, you should have about 6 pages by now. Then, read through and fill in points and embellish the ideas that are already there. Voila... 12 pages. Make sure you take snack and rest breaks every 2 hours or so. Good luck!

I just done a research paper on this same story...\nA symbol of the story would be something that stands out to you throughout the story. \nTowards the beginning of the story, the narrator describes a painting of her father(?) drawn in crayon. It symbolizes her wanting to stay a child and for her father to continue to care for her.\nAt the end of the story, the townspeople find a single hair on the pillow next to her dead lover. She continued to lie beside him even after she had killed him. She found eternal love; which was something that wouldn't leaver her.\nTo actually start the paper, how many words, do you count all words but articles...\nI would start out the essay with a brief of the story. Give three symbols in which you could describe. I gave you two, so find one more...\nFor each of the three paragraphs, describe in detail of the symbol. Paragraph one, why do you think she wanted to stay a child? Paragraph two, whatever you find. Paragraph three, what was the meaning of the silver strand of hair.\nIn the last paragraph, sum up the paper. Tell what you felt about this story. Do not use the word you. Teachers will count against that. Make your story interesting.\nLast but not least, a works cited page. Make sure to cite all sources, there are plenty on this story. All your cites must be in alphabetical order.\nThat should be about it. If you have anymore questions feel free to write.

The key to writing an essay is inspiration and structure. Assuming you have a topic, gather what information you can about it, allow your mind to explore the boundaries of that information and see what intersts you about it, then write down a list of those things in th eorder that they appear to be connected. Think of how you can interst your reader in that subject, a catchy title and a few words of introduction. Then work your way through each of your main points (depending on essay length there shouldn't be more than three or four) saying something engaging about each. Now think how you can wrap up what you are saying to finish off with a neat ending. For me the ending always referred back to the introduction in some way and included the words of the title. That brings the whole to a satisfactory conclusion in arounded sort of way. You have posed a question for your reader and and answered it. Try to vary your sentence lengths so as not to be too clunky and keep the language simple. Use of long or obscure words may seem clever at first sight but if they are not in common use can look like bragging - and if you get the wrong meaning of them will only make you look silly. Write in a manner that can be easily read aloud without tripping over or hesitation and you should do well. Good luck - essay writing was my favourite.... And remeber to check your spellings!
