Don't use words like: I, you, etc. I always did this until recently, and my writing sounds much better.

If there's a noun that begins with a vowel, put an "n" at the end of "a". Don't say, "a essay", say "an essay". =P
For higher-level essays, teachers often require a "so-what" statement, or a general message, usually some aspect of life, that can be described using examples from literature.
Basic essays have five paragraphs. The first is the introductory paragraph, which ought to contain a thesis statement, or a sentence that will summarize the next three paragraphs. The next three paragraphs are supporting paragraphs, which are the examples that support whatever fact or idea was stated in the introductory paragraph. The fifth and last paragraph is the conclusion, which is basically the introduction reworded.

stay in the third person; don't use "I," "You," or "we." avoid using slang and basic words such as "a lot" or "basically." if you are doing an essay on a novel, use the present tense. use transition words when going from one idea to another and/or one paragraph to another.

OK, don't overuse certain words. Also, don't say "thing (s)" when referring to something, and use a wide vocabulary and variety of words. Happy writing!!
