PLEASE HELP ME!!! i need your help for an essay?

Question

I am writing an essay on how bad child labor is and how it is still a big issue. I have to tie it in with William Blake's poem "the chimney sweeper." I need help in which what i should write about?? Please can you help me give me ideas for the essay like a beginning, middle, and an end.

Answer 1

"When my mother died I was very young,
And my father sold me while yet my tongue
Could scarcely cry "Weep! weep! weep! weep!"
So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep."
- excerpt from William Blake's "The Chimney Sweeper"

Sad words from William Blake's poem, "The Chimney Sweeper", but that was long ago and those things don't happen anymore, right? Unfortunately, child labor has never stopped. In many countries it is against the law to sell your child into what amounts to slavery. In many countries it is against the law to hire a child to work for wages. But there are still many countries where children work for wages as an accepted part of the culture such as Thailand, sub-Saharan Africa, Brazil, China and Morocco. Because it is an accepted part of their culture, does it make okay to use children as labor?

Many would say yes. In areas of extreme poverty it often takes everyone in the family, children included, to bring in enough money just to barely eke out a living. How can someone from a country where obesity is at epidemic proportions condemn a culture where every means available is utilized just to stay alive including children working for western companies at pittance wages?

Do western companies by locating offshore encourage child labor, in fact, take advantage of it? And what about the consumer who purchases the goods produced by child labor? If you think you are exempt from your part in child labor, look around at what you own. Most of it has been made in countries where child labor is the norm.

"Then down a green plain, leaping, laughing, they run,
And wash in a river, and shine in the sun."
- excerpt from William Blake's "The Chimney Sweeper"

All children should be able to run and laugh in the sun. I think everyone would agree to that statement. But until we all bring the unspoken secret of child labor into the forefront of society's concious, until we rectify the poverty that enables it, I'm afraid William Blake's poem will hold true for yet another generation.

Each essay has a specific purpose whether it is to outline, discuss, explain, argue, compare, contrast, describe, or analyse. Essays are based on evidence so you will need to use evidence to support your point of view. A basic essay structure is below:

Introduction: Usually one paragraph, introduces the central purpose of the essay, arouses a reader's curiosity, provides directon for the reader and writer, outlines a clear, limited statement of the essay's purpose and is definite (takes a stand).

Body: Usually about 3-5 paragraphs, fulfills the purpose stated in the introduction, expands or elaborates the initial ideas, organised around the key points from the introduction, uses topic sentences*, rivets the reader's attention to the central point and uses examples from the text to support the central argument.

*A topic sentence is the opening sentence of a paragraph that states the topic or the key point. This should be strong and definitive.

Conclusion: Brings the writing to satisfactory close, shows that the promise made in the introduction has been met and never apologises for covering the topic inadequately.

Note: If you want to understand how to write an essay in more detail, do a google search. You'll get tonnes of information on how to write and essay.

Answer 3

How long should it be? Is there a limit?

The beginning should be your own opinions on the matter. Be candid -- express your own thoughts.

Then, the middle should be excerts from the poem, and possibly real life example of child labor? Make a huge statement, and prey on the emotions of your reader.

The ending should summarize not only what you think, but what the poem is saying, and what the real life examples convey. It wraps up your whole essay, and leaves the reader with the final impression of your work.

Good luck. Hope you get an A!

Answer 4

Birth Name: Rillian; now R(changed name) 1. Awful experiences. I was often teased as child for not having a real name. As a teenager friends insisted on calling me Killian after the cheap beer Killians. In college I found that I wasn't getting scholarships or other opportunities while people with lower grades and less experience in the same subject were. I changed my name legally and almost immediately people who only knew me on paper started taking me seriously. An example: I originally applied to graduate schools as Rillian. I had an undergrad 4.0 but I didn't get a single offer. The next year--having done no extra coursework and with the same personal statement--I reapplied with the changed name and was accepted with funding to all eight universities to which I had applied. I think this is a fairly clear example of a name holding a person back. 2. My name comes from the name of a prince in the Narnia series (my mother has an obsession). To make the name "feminine" she added an extra L. I don't think it worked. 3. Personally I don't like Rillian, but I'm used to it. I still answer to it and my family still calls me it. What I really don't like is how it worked on a professional level. 4. I'd rather not say what I changed my name to on the internet, sorry. 5. Rillian and R(changed name). Rillian with family, sometimes with my husband (we were dating when I changed it). We've moved since I changed my name, so everyone in my new city only knows me by my new name. 6. I didn't change my last name when I got married, mostly because I had just changed my first name a year before and didn't feel like doing the paperwork again. I may get around to it one day, I may not. 7. They're OK. My maiden name and my husband's last name sound awful with each other, so it's not an option I am personally considering.

Answer 5

INTRODUCTION/THESIS
The first paragraph includes the introduction and a thesis statement. The introduction should captivate the reader's attention and give an idea of the essay's focus. You may start your essay with an attention-getter such as a bit of fascinating information, captivating dialogue or an interesting fact.
Start with a few sentences that explain your topic in basic terms and lead into your thesis statement. Each sentence of your opening statement should become a bit more specific, until you reach the thesis statement.
The thesis statement tells the reader what the essay will be about and what points you will be making in your essay. Your thesis statement should state the subject of the essay, explain the point of view the essay will take or describe the ideas on your topic that you determined in your outline.
BODY PARAGRAPHS
The body paragraphs will explain your essay's topic. Each of the main ideas that you listed in your outline will become a paragraph in your essay. If your outline contained three main ideas, you will have three body paragraphs. Start by writing down one of your main ideas, in sentence form.
If your essay topic is a new university in your hometown, one of your main ideas may be "population growth of town" you might say this:
The new university will cause a boom in the population of Fort Myers.
Build on your paragraph by including each of the supporting ideas from your outline.
CONCLUSION
The conclusion serves to give the reader closure, summing up the essay's points or providing a final viewpoint about the topic.
The conclusion should consist of three or four convincing sentences. Clearly review the main points, being careful not to restate them exactly, or briefly describe your opinion about the topic.
