A College Essay is Cancerous - Read This Before You Write One
A College Essay is Cancerous - Read This Before You Write OneCollege essay writing is one of the most dreaded aspects of college but also one of the easiest things you can get wrong. I'm sure that you've read a lot of essays by others that are almost as terrible as yours. This is because many students and teachers don't understand the basic concept of college essay writing - what's needed and what's simply worthless drivel.First off, let's start by defining the term 'college essay.' Essays are written to present a single idea in a structured way and at a certain rate of paragraph, line, or page. This essay is called an essay for a reason, so don't worry that it's too formal and needs a title - if it does, then you might want to rethink your approach.The first thing you must understand about college essay writing is that it is a generalization of all types of literature and essays, including literary, memoir, and any type of non-fiction material that present an argument or convey a me aning. It is not so much about literary or creative writing - this is different. It is more about the sheer quality of the writing. Writing an essay is like performing surgery; it is more about creativity and original thought than about the technical expertise of the particular method used to write the piece.Cancer is another word for cancerous cells. When writing an essay, do not use cancerous or cancer-related phrases. And make sure that your essay is not only focused on this one word - no matter how subtle it may be.You must provide the reader with your main points through the introduction, body, and conclusion of your essay. The introduction should introduce yourself and what you are trying to say. The body of your essay will provide an introduction to your ideas and maybe an exposition of some supporting facts, but mostly, the body is about presenting your main points. This might mean giving you pointers, perhaps in the form of a 'case study' or a narrative, or telling you abou t a specific incident that makes you think about the issue in your essay.You should never miss the point, though, especially in the beginning of your essay because it is often very easy to get lost in a mass of words. Use precise sentences and sentence structure.Cancerous ideas and information are worthless and irrelevant information. It's no different from telling a victim of cancer to 'watch what you eat.' That is a literal statement and you should avoid saying it. That's only going to incite even more anger towards you, especially if you happen to be a cancer survivor.Once you have listed all of your supporting facts, you are all set for that well-deserved 'cancer' from your audience. The conclusion of your essay is where you put down your final thoughts. If you are writing a college essay, it might be best to write it separately rather than include it in the body of your main argument. You are going to be writing this essay until the day you graduate, so be as concise as possibl e.
