Keys to good essay-writing

As with most things in life, the more you know the better off you are. For knowledge is power, is it not? So, when it comes to essay writing, knowledge is here again applied. When writing an essay, when it is your choice of topic, choose something of which you know a lot about. Be it cars, insects, architecture, Italy, whatever. If it is something you know something about already and are willing to find out more about and wrap it all up nice and tidy in a neat little essay with a nice crisp introduction, warm fuzzy informative middle, and a tie-it-all together it caller her done, ending, then so be it.


If the essay it assigned to you, and of a subject to which you are not knowledgeable about, then we have a new story all together. This becomes your chance to gain knowledge! To learn, new things, and learn everything you can, of which it is you have been assigned to write an essay upon. Learn it, ask yourself questions about it, and then answers those questions. For this is knowledge.
All of learned how to write a good paper in Grammar School, I think we even had a fun name for ours like an "essay sandwich". You write the opening paragraph that describes what it is you'll be writing about, which is the top piece of bread. The 2 or 3 paragraphs about the subject in the middle is the lunchmeat or cheese if that suits you. All the extra facts are considered condiments like mayonnaise, mustard, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles and such. Then of course, your conclusion, as this is mine, the bottom of the bread. I hope you like 9 grain.
