Would like help from teacher to improve my skills in essay writing.Hello, As part of my studies, I have to write essays, on both British and...

When writing an essay on a particular work of literature,
it is important to have read the piece at least two times to be familar with
it.

You will either have to pick a topic on which to write,
or you will be given a topic by your instructor.  It is important that you re-form your
topic into a question that needs to be answered by the essay. Break the topic down into
3 basic ideas that will answer the question.  Then search for support through literary
analysis articles.

Take a position on your particular topic
and use the original work of literature and various scholarly articles to support your
assertions.  Be sure to follow all essay format guidelines (MLA, APA, etc).  Be sure
that you answer the question posed by your topic.

Write a
strong introduction stating your topic and 3 or 4 details that you will cover in the
body of the essay.  Each paragraph of the essay should reflect back to the
introduction.  Is the detail mentioned in the introduction?  Yes, continue, No, decide
if you need to rewrite the introduction or eliminate this
detail.

Finally, Write a strong conclusion that leaves the
reader with the most important assertion that you made in the body of the paper.  Again,
refer back to your original topic and the question that you created. Does your
conclusion answer that question?

Cite your references in a
bibliography or works cited page.

There are several
examples of essay writing available on the Internet. Please see the links
