When writing a
college essay
first understand the essay that you are writing. There are many
essays written in colleges and all are different from each other
either in formatting or in their general writing. For example, there
are persuasive essays, narrative essays and argumentative essays
among many others. You cannot write an argumentative essay the same
way you write a narrative essay. Taking time to go through different
essay types is essential for all college students. This is because it
will reduce the confusion level of differentiating one essay from
another.
Robert was assigned to write an argumentative essay but did
not know anything about argumentative essay. He though all the essays
are the same and ended up writing the essay like a narrative without
considering that argumentative essay is all about debating. The class
loved at him when the teacher said that some students are never
serious and pointed Robert as an example of such students. The
teacher went ahead and read the essay in front of all classmates that
was so embarrassing for Robert. If he had known what is an
argumentative essay he would have written a good essay but the
assumption made him to have the worst day in his school life.
Robert
had to understand about this type of an essay in a painful way but it
was an advantage to him because he was forced by circumstances to
learn to write all other essays in college. Even the students who
were laughing at him are no better than Robert in writing essays in
the college is. If students would undergo the same experience as
Robert then they will be forced to learn essay writing and they will
have easy time writing all kinds of essays.
