The 3 Pillars of Essay Writing

Author: Heather Roberts

Writers pursue essay writing with a passion but only a privileged few succeed. Not everyone who loves to write can thrive in this kind of career. If the professionals are having difficulties, then students face twice the difficulty when they have essay assignments. Lest the student is a wordsmith, born with a gift of linguistic intelligence, he or she might find essay writing intimidating.

To improve the students' essay writing skills, here are the three crucial elements that they should consider:

The Message

As famous English novelist Virginia Woolf aptly puts it, "a good essay must have this permanent quality about it; it must draw its curtain round us, but it must be a curtain that shuts us in not out." The cornerstone of effective essay writing is the message. Hence, students must make it a point that they have something meaningful to say. The paper's content is what differentiates a good paper from an inferior one. If students can demonstrate originality of thought and the paper shows substance, professors will give the essay a decent mark.

The Style

Apart from the substance, professors also factor in the students' writing style when evaluating essay papers. Hence, students must make it a point that in essay writing, they use the appropriate tone and diction. Moreover, students need to ensure that they write clearly and concisely. Roundabout arguments undermine the great ideas of the students so always go direct to the point.

The Design

The famous maxim might be against judging the book by its cover, but students must face the fact that their paper needs to have a visual appeal. This is not a license for students to pepper their essays with artwork or illustrations irrelevant to their topic. By visual appeal, this means that in essay writing, students need to consider the importance of white space. Make the paper look easy on the eyes - not cluttered and text heavy. Use subheadings and bullets to emphasize important points. Make sure that the paper is double-spaced so that professors can write their comments.

I have suffered from these nasty critters [tonsil stones] for years. I just accepted that I would always have them. However, since using the tonsil stone remedy I learned about on tonsilstones.net, I have not experienced even one tonsil stone.
