My Essay

I think the main issue and problem with my essay overall was sentence structure. I feel like many times i would repeat phrases or sentences and just change the structure but at the end of the day it would end up meaning the same. Also my quotes were not very strong, they demonstrated what I was saying but there were better quotes that I could have used. And I believe if my thesis was more clear it would help me develop my ideas better.

What Makes An Essay

I think the most important aspect of an essay is it's thesis. If the thesis is clear, and has the essay's main points, then you can always refer back to the thesis in case you need reminding of the point of the essay. I also think that well developed ideas and quotes are very important. Sometimes people throw so many small insignificant examples into essays just to "fill" the essay, when really all you need are a few well thought out ideas, and your essay will be clear.

I believe that an essay is the best when it is clear and well developed. Also, it's nice and impressive to have large vocabulary words, but when the whole essay looks like it was translated straight onto thesaurus.com... you know something is wrong.
