How to Write an Analytical Essay
Writing an essay is all about organizing your thoughts. Here's how to put together your ideas into a coherent analytical essay. Steps Draw a square and put your introduction in it. Start to plot out what you want to write. Do this underneath your introduction. Come up with a main idea for each paragraph. Explain your main idea, maybe throw in a quote that will help to explain it in better detail. Back up your ideas with examples. If you're writing a Descriptive consider a personal example. Otherwise, find an objective example to support your analysis. Follow these procedures for each paragraph that you need to write. State your conclusion. Restate your introduction and leave them thinking. Tips Beginnings and endings are great places to use quotes, to use metaphors, and to use repetition, for effect. If you are writing a formal analysis or critique, then avoid using colloquial writing. Though informal language may bring some color to a paper, you do not want to risk weakening your argument by influencing it with verbal slang. |

Choosing the topic
Choosing The Topic
If you have not been assigned a topic, then the whole world lies before you. Sometimes that seems to make the task of starting even more intimidating. Actually, this means that you are free to choose a topic of interest to you, which will often make your essay a stronger one. Define Your Purpose The first thing you must do is to think about the purpose of the essay you must write. Is your purpose to persuade people to believe as you do, to explain to people how to complete a particular task, to educate people about some person, place, thing or idea, or something else entirely? Whatever topic you choose must fit that purpose. Brainstorm Subjects of Interest Once you have determined the purpose of your essay, write down some subjects that interest you. No matter what the purpose of your essay is, an endless number of topics will be suitable. If you have trouble thinking of subjects, start by looking around you. Is there anything in your surroundings that interests you? Think about your life. What occupies most of your time? That might make for a good topic. Don't evaluate the subjects yet; just write down anything that springs to mind. Evaluate Each Potential Topic If you can think of at least a few topics that would be appropriate, you must simply consider each one individually. Think about how you feel about that topic. If you must educate, be sure it is a subject about which you are particularly well informed. If you must persuade, be sure it is a subject about which you are at least moderately passionate. Of course, the most important factor in choosing a topic is the number of ideas you have about that topic. Even if none of the subjects you thought of seem particularly appealing, try just choosing one to work with. It may turn out to be a better topic than you at first thought. Before you are ready to move on in the essay-writing process, look one more time at the topic you have selected. Think about the type of paper you are expected to produce. Should it be a general overview, or a specific analysis of the topic? If it should be an overview, then you are probably ready to move to the next step. If it should be a specific analysis, make sure your topic is fairly specific. If it is too general, you must choose a narrower subtopic to discuss. For example, the topic "KENYA" is a general one. If your objective is to write an overview, this topic is suitable. If your objective is to write a specific analysis, this topic is too general. You must narrow it to something like "Politics in Kenya" or "Kenya's Culture." Once you have determined that your topic will be suitable, you can move on. Here are a few guidelines to help you through the process: Pick a topic that you are interested in. You will express yourself with more clarity and insight if you are interested in the topic that you are writing about. You should pick a topic based on the assigned texts that you understood. While writing your essay, the majority of your energy will be focused on explaining and supporting your individual perspective and thesis, so it is important that you understand and feel comfortable talking about the primary (and possibly secondary) material that will form the basis of your essay. Select a topic that is challenging and thought provoking. You want to write about a topic that is interesting to you. Your essay should reflect your own individual and unique perspective on your chosen topic. It should not be a mere restatement of the already existing academic ideas on the topic. So, you should choose a topic that challenges you and allows you room to express yourself in relation to the primary source text, and the secondary sources (if they are applicable to your assignment). Your topic should be specific enough that you can form an opinion about it, but general enough that you can find enough information to support your perspective and write a comprehensive and substantial essay.

Well, my limited observations, regarding the choice & way of attempting an essay, are:
1. Select the one, about which you feel confident that you have sufficient amount of knowledge. 2. You should have atleast two-three different views specifically, if the essay is on Current Affairs/International Relations/ Politics/ Global Scenarios or Problems/. 3. GOOD--START & END. (First impression is the last impression). 4. Organize it before start: Introduction, Main Content (narrow-down to objectives), Summary. Conclusion & recommendations if required. 5. Must have sufficient amount of words in your stock (Vocabulory). 6. High-sounding or bombastic style does not ASURE your quality writing. 7. Avoid long sentences. 8. VERY IMP: Sentence beauty means; use of proper punctuations, appropriate use of grammer, idioms & phrases, quotations counts a lot.

Tips for Writing Essays
Here are some suggestions for coming up with a good topic.
1. First, choose a subject that interests you. Let's say you like dogs. 2. Then try to narrow the subject down to something you can write about knowledgeably. Let's say you have a beagle and you know a lot about beagles based on your experience of owning one. 3. Now come up with a statement about your topic. "Beagles are the best breed of dog." This will be your thesis statement or "hook." 4. To write your paper, answer the question "why" at least five times. A beagle is the best because… "beagles are smart" or "beagles are neither too small nor too big — they're just right." 5. Wrap it up. Write a brief conclusion that summarizes the points you have made. "Clearly, beagles are best because they're smart and they're just the right size."

Essay writing is very tough job. Keep some suggestions in mind. 1-first comprehand the topic ,what is the meaning of statement, that's very imoptant bcoz most of us dont comprehand the topic. 2- give introduction of almost one and half page. 3-give examples to support ur answer. 4-example can b from everyday life ,from international issues.any example which u think is supporting ur answer can b given. 5-write almost 10 to 15 point in out line ,but outline should not exceed from 1 and 1\2 page. 6-examples that r from similar sources come under same out line but than we give numbering to our ingredients(of same out line). 7-in the end give conclusion .

Effective essay
Tips for writing effective essay
it is mostly seen in students failing in essay subject, this is only because of tricks and understanding of essay. Students attemping the essay paper boost up the whole essay with many of relevent knowledge, even though they got good and broad knowledge,being so knowledgeable they fail to pass. The essay does not mean the information about any given topic, but is is like an communication, a book communication. you write well and reader reads it well, so the communication must be so effective that something you trying to tell reader could easily gained by reader and he must be satisfied with your work. You should express your words quite beautifully in a quite effective way and easy to understand and easy to read for reader. Last edited by Sureshlasi; Tuesday, December 11, 2007 at 03:14 PM. |
