What should I write for my essay?

Question

I have to write a 2 to 3 page essay about whatever I want. Ideas??

Answer 1

Picking a theme or thesis is the key in your situation. If it's an English class, a focus on an English theme may be appropriate for you, but the teacher may also know more about the subject and be more critical. Here's a little help either way:

Once you have a clearly defined thesis statement, two to three pages should come easier for you. If you find you are still having a hard time writing, consider revising your thesis statement by making it clear exactly what you a trying to say. When you have a good thesis statement, the rest comes easy!

Good Luck.

Answer 2

Let me make sure I've got this right. You can write about whatever you want ... and you need help from total strangers coming up with an idea?

Here's the problem (aside from your woeful lack of imagination) - no one knows how old you are, what grade you're in or what your interests are.

So how can anyone make any suggestions that are going to be of use to you?

That said, write about something that you feel passionately about. Have you seen anything on the news that upset you or made you angry? What about your favorite thing to do when you're not in school? Do you have any ideas for making the world a better place?

What I'm suggesting is that you make this assignment easy on yourself by writing about something that you either know a lot about or about a subject that evokes strong emotions and feelings.

1. Graphology -- it is the study of handwriting. You can tell a lot about people by the way they cross their "i"s, dot their "t"s and sign their names.

2. Censorship -- should schools and parents be able to ban classic literature for religious or ethical reasons?

3. Heroes -- what makes a hero? What qualities must he or she have? Who is your hero and why?

4. Organic Food -- pros and cons of organic vs. conventional production? Should the government be involved?

5. Patriotism -- What makes somebody a true patriot? How has the word changed since the early years of the U.S? How is it used as a political tool?

6. Population crisis -- Can our world sustain itself if the population continues to rise? Should the government have the right to limit how many children people have? Look at China for an example.
