A great writer creates a world of his own and his readers are proud to live in it. A
lesser writer may entice them in for a moment, but soon he will watch them filing
out."

journalistic prose dealing with a specific topic, especially from a personal
and unsystematic viewpoint.
Or
Essay,literarycomposition devoted to the presentation of the writer's
own ideas on a topic and generally addressing a particular aspect of the
subject. Often brief in scope and informal in style, the essay differs from
such formal expository forms as the thesis, dissertation, or
treatise.

Types of Essay:
One may not have a choice about the type of essay one will write,
since this may have been determined by the assignment. If one do
have a choice, however, he can find a type that will best fit his
personality.
Common essay types include the following:
Persuasive/argumentative essay. Makes a claim or takes a position and
backs it up with statistics, expert opinions, and other evidence. You may
review an opposing review and explain why it is wrong and you are right.
Comparison essay. Demonstrates similarities and differences between two
topics.
Descriptive essay. Explains the what, why, how, when, and wheres of a
topic.
Evaluation essay. Describes a thing or event and explains its importance,
some point, lesson, or idea gleaned from this narrative to make the essay
meaningful.

The previous slide shows that there are three main and basic parts of
an essay.
Introduction.
Main body.
Conclusion/Core/Crust.
Now I am going to describe the very details of these three parts of an essay.
INTRODUCTION
The first and most important aspect of writing a good essay is to
examine the question and grasp the idea of subject. The importance of close
analysis of the question as the base of a good essay cannot be overestimated.
The introduction includes six fine steps that include pre selection portions also
which are considered as a mere step towards introduction. These steps are
definition of purpose, brainstorm the subjects of interest, evaluation of the
points, organization of ideas, outline, generation of thesis statement.

Outline :
Begin your outline by writing your topic at the top of the page. Next, write
the Roman numerals I, II, and III, spread apart down the left side of the
page. Next to each Roman numeral, write the main ideas that you have
about your topic, or the main points that you want to make.
f)
MAIN BODY
In the body of the essay, all the preparation up to this point comes to fruition.
The topic you have chosen must now be explained, described, or argued.
Major points to be taken are as follows;
-Each body paragraph will have the same basic structure.
-Start by writing down one of your main ideas, in sentence form.
-Write down each of your supporting points for that main idea .
-In the space under each point, write down some elaboration for that
point.
-Elaboration can be further description or explanation or discussion.
CONCLUSION
The conclusion brings closure to the reader, summing up your points or
providing a final perspective on your topic. All the conclusion needs is three or
four strong sentences which do not need to follow any set formula. Simply
review the main points (being careful not to restate them exactly) or briefly
describe your feelings about the topic. Even an anecdote can end your
essay in a useful way.
There are two finale steps towards an end:
Add the finishing touches:
You have now completed all of the paragraphs of your essay. Before you can
consider this a finished product, however, you must give some thought to the
formatting of your paper.
Check the order of your paragraphs:
Look at your paragraphs. Which one is the strongest? You might want to start
with the strongest paragraph, end with the second strongest, and put the
weakest in the middle. Whatever order you decide on, be sure it makes sense.
If your paper is describing a process, you will probably need to stick to the
order in which the steps must be completed.
