Using Essay Samples Within Your Own Essay
Using Essay Samples Within Your Own EssayIn a recent article I argued that it is more important to write a successful essay for a college or university than it is to write a brief, to know what the judges are looking for. The reason is quite simple. The short essay is much easier to determine the authors' and reviewers' evaluation than is the longer one, and when the short one is completed with an obviously stronger argument, the judges' job is significantly easier.Short essays are great because they are so easy to assess, but if you want to be really good at it, you will need to continue writing long essays. Here is the answer: When you get to the end of your essay and you think that you have written all that you needed to, you should then add in a few samples from within your essay. It is easy to compare your sample against your final piece, and it will also help you improve on your writing skills.I often ask my students to make a list of samples from the original piece. Often the student has to sort through this list to find his or her sample and then write some notes about it. A few times, however, the student has trouble finding any samples and he or she has to take a second look at their own essay. If the student can't find any samples within the original article, they may be wondering why the original writer included samples in the first place.That's the perfect time to bring in samples from within the original piece. The reason that you should do this is simple. Judges and readers are looking for evidence, not opinion. So when the essay is complete, they will find that you've got some evidence that support your claims.You can start by looking at the organization of the original article. Look at the method of research and compilation, and if the original article makes you doubt the validity of your own article, you should make sure that you consider adding some samples from your own work. By comparing your own work to the original, your arguments will be come stronger.You can also make this comparison when you begin to look for samples within the original piece. Try to write an essay that is similar to the original, and write a few samples of what you think the original article would look like if it were your own.This may seem a little bit tricky, but it's really easy to find examples of works in other genres that make use of the same topics as the original article. All you have to do is to use a search engine and type in the term 'sample essay'sample works.'When you look through your original article for samples, you'll be surprised to find that there are a lot of variations that would look just like the original article without the need for samples. Adding samples from your own essay will help to make it look more original, and it will also make your writing appear more genuine.
