What is an Essay?

According to the Purdue Online Writing Lab,

A shorter piece of writing that demands to hone skills, such as close reading, analysis,

comparison and contrast, persuasion, conciseness, clarity and exposition is called an essay.

Parts of an Essay

Different parts of essays are discussed below:

The Title

Title is often missed by students while writing while mentioning the title is mandatory. Let’s imagine the shop of burgers. Where a burger is packed and marked only by price. So, who will come to know about it? What should the customers ask it? A cheese burger or a jelly one? Similarly, the title is too necessary to identify that for what you are writing about. So, you can give descriptive title to class essay while if it is going to publish in magazines you must have to write a compelling title.

Introductory Paragraph

So, for burger bun is very important as without it there is no burger. Likewise, for our essay the introductory paragraph is essential. The introductory paragraph should start with your thesis statement. Moreover, your introductory paragraph must left you arguable throughout the essay.

Main Points

The substance or the supporting material that form an essay is the main point. As in case of burger, the main thing is ingredients. So for essay it is mandatory. It is advisable to write only two and five total sentences in main theme. If you give more than it, you audience may left confused.

Concluding Paragraph

Just like introduction the concluding paragraph is imperative. As that of burger requires the top as well as bottom slice of bun. So, your essay conclusion must be as same as introductory paragraph and restate the your thesis statement and main points

Transition Statements

As the mayo and cheese hold the slices of burger together, similarly the transition statements helps to develop the coordination among individual sentences, within paragraph or between paragraphs. These would help you in maintain balance and avoiding the jumps from one idea to other.

The Packaging

As the other aspects are essential for burger its packaging is also worthy. Do you not think without its packing your burger go waste Similarly, in essay, you may wonder what is packing? Yes! It is the editing in the essay. Your essay may left with grammatical errors and misspelled words if not being edited. So, to secure good marks also follow this last step of packaging or editing so your item must be presented in an handsome manner,

Putting it All Together

We have learnt that the essay is the shorter piece of writing that helps in developing writing and reading skills. Its five components are the Title, Introductory Paragraph, Concluding Paragraph, Transition Statements and the Packaging. For the sake of example we have considered the burger from its name to the lover loaf of bun and then the things that helps in its compiling and selling, similarly in essay all these 5 things must be followed so to present your reader a good piece of writing.
