A good composition is always a whole, complete (both in form and content) work in itself. One of the first conditions for writing such an essay is to work carefully and step-by-step on the topic of the essay.

Step 1: Define the boundaries of the topic.

Topics can be broad and narrow. A broad topic requires the involvement of more facts, well-developed associative thinking. Hence the difficulty: the material "clogs up" the main idea of the essay, the author of the grabmyessay touches on many problems close to the main idea, but the essay turns out not on the topic, but "around" the topic. Elaboration of broad topics disciplines the thought, develops the ability not to deviate from the main idea.

Step 2: Determine the scope of the essay topic.

Work at this stage is better to begin with the selection from the name of the topic of that word (concept) that carries the main semantic load. For example, in the title "Humanism of Chekhov's Stories" this central word would be "humanism. And in the title of the topic "An intelligent, inspired book often decides a person's fate (V.A. Sukhomlinsky)" - the main content load falls on the words "book", "decides", "human fate".

 

Further it is necessary to specify those sides of the "meaning center" (words, concepts, groups of words, concepts), without which it is impossible to disclose the topic in its entirety. Thus, (on the first topic) our discussion of Chekhov's humanism will be rather streamlined and general, if we do not imagine the time in which A.P. Chekhov's work fell, we will not notice the development and deepening of humanism in the writer's work from the 60s to the 90s of the nineteenth century.

 

In working on the second title, let us note that not every book has "fate" significance, but only the "intelligent and inspired," that is, the one in which a large part of the life, the fate of another person - the author of the book - is invested. However, another important thing: even such a "smart and inspired" book changes the fate of often, but not always. How can this be explained? Perhaps, by the fact that the meeting with such a book in its entirety will take place only when in its reader still preserved, even under the garbage of life, suffering, but preserved the possibility of counter spiritual movement to an intelligent book, and in fact - to another soul, to another person.

 

Thus, in determining the scope of the content of the topic, we establish the boundaries of the content of the main part of the essay. You can then think about the introduction and conclusion of your essay.

 

The introduction is dictated by the semantic essay writing service reviews. If we go back to Theme 1 and Theme 2 formulated above, then in Theme 1, starting from the semantic center "Chekhovian humanism," we can begin our essay with a discussion of the fact that literature has long been called "human studies" not only because It studies man in the unity of his external and internal connections with the world, social and spiritual, but also because, from age to age, it "preaches love" to man in an enthusiastic and angry "word of denial." In different writers, in different eras, the combination of affirming the value of the human being and denying certain qualities is different...

 

In the second theme, the introduction can be associated with reflections on the fate of man and the circumstances that can dramatically change it. To name some, the most expressive, note that among such fate circumstances may be the book.

 

In the conclusion, it is necessary to proceed not so much from the semantic center of the theme, as from those clarifying notions that concretize the general content of the semantic center.

 

Step 3: Selection of literary and any other material necessary for the disclosure of the topic.

For example, for the first topic you will recall the stories by Anton Chekhov studied at school or read on your own: "The Boys," "Surgery," "The Thick and the Thin," "The Death of an Official," "A Boring Story," "The Hoppy," "Ward No. 6," "House with a Mezzanine," "Man in a Box," "The Gooseberry," and others. The second topic will lead you to reflect on your favorite book.

 

Step 4: Choose a genre of essay (description, narration, reasoning).

After this preliminary work, you can move on to making an essay plan.
