Writing the Essay 03/02/2011

Today was another online session in which we were to discuss the importance of an essay.
An essay is a group of paragraphs each with the function of supporting a controlling idea called a thesis. (82) Such an essay may consist of an introduction, developmental paragraph(explanation, detail, example) and a final view of a conclusion in which each element expounds its justified ideas upon the main subject. This developmental structure must be focus upon organization, support, and transition throughout the composition to maintain it reading effectiveness.

To start off, each essay must consist of an introduction in which it must emphasize the main idea (thesis statement). The key to a successful introduction is that one must take into an account that the writer must lure its reader into a thicket of attention-grabbing components-- that is, the writer must attract its reader to take interest in his/her work. On the other hand, when one carries out its conclusion, one must understand that the conclusion is an essential part of the essay and is often a reflection of the introduction.(88) All in all, each component in an essay provides support to its thesis in which it develops a structural foundation that embraces the main idea.
