assalam aliakum to all respected members !

i m here starting a query about how to write an essay?

so the very first thing is what is the definition of an essay ?
ESSAY IS A WRITTEN EXPRESSION OF WRITER'S DIRECT OPINION.
THAT OPINION IS BASED ON OUR BELIEFS.
now belief is of further two types:
1. changeable (where there is tendency to change the opinion)
2. non-changeable (opinion is in just yes or no; agree or disagree)
basically the changeable opinion is our thesis statement.
* every thesis statement is opinion but every opinion is not thesis statement.
types of essays' topics:
1. open topics
on which writer's own tendency to prove his opinion statement. any opinion can be formed
on open topics. that opinion is basically our thesis statement that we prove in our essay.
for example :
future of democracy...... so everyone have their own opinions about it... their own way of
thinking about it and their own prospects under which they will have opinion about it. and
that opinion is their thesis statement.
2. close topics
close topics are basically those statement which are already proved and we have to agree or
disagree with them. and that agreement or disagreement is our thesis statement.
* one thing must be cleared here that thesis statement must be written carefully because
what ever we will write in thesis statement we are bound to discuss that in body of essay.
we cannot go out from that.
part 2 of essay writing that is most important and everyone must focus on that :
FORMAT OF AN ESSAY/ STRUCTURE OF AN ESSAY:
1. introduction
2. body
3. conclusion
INTRODUCTION:
The basic purpose of introduction is to present the thesis statement. it must consist of one
paragraph, relatively short. its start must be from general statement to specific. specific
statement is your thesis statement. connectivity is must between general and specific
statement.
method of writing general statement:
1. direct way
expansion of any keyword from topic and related it with thesis statement
2. indirect way
quote, question, story, question or verse and co-relate it with thesis statement
for example:
general statement___________________________________________
_________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________
_______________][thesis statement_________________________
_________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________

BODY:
in body only paragraphing is done. paragraphs must be of that number of ideas. one idea-
one paragraph.
in each paragraph u must explain:
meaning
explanation
prove/arguments on idea
linkage of paragraph with thesis statement
coherence and integrity

CONCLUSION:
conclusion is inverse of introduction. it starts specifically and end generally but in different
words of introduction.
for example:
thesis statement___________________________________________
_________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________
_______________][general statement_________________________
_________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________

note : the framework that above is drawn to show the specimen of intro and conclusion.but
there is no need of writing heading of thesis statement and general statement. and it must
be in one paragraph.

that is all about essays -how to write and what is the method... hope it will help all aspirants
who are confused about essays..and believe me my learning this way i m really very much
comfortable that ow there is no problem for me.. and the only thing is to practice.any query
