Question

How to I do this structure essay question? Hope that some of you out there can give me some pointers. thank you.

Answer 1

First, I would discuss what the war guilt clause was in comparison to the other major clauses involved in the surrender of Germany. In your thesis, you should either agree or disagree with the question. Either:

"I think the war guilt clause was the most humiliating factor...because..."

or

"I think the war guilt clause was not the most humiliating factor...because..."

In the first paragraph, you should give an outline of the reasons that you are using to prove your thesis.

In the rest of the essay, use each paragraph to illustrate the reasons. I don't know how long this essay is supposed to be. If it is a 5-para essay, pick the three best reasons you can think of to support your point. These should be the bulk of your essay. The introduction and conclusion should be comparatively short.
