The essay is the most simplest among
t he sl ew of academi c wr i t i ng
assignments. An essay is essentially a
piece of writing intended to convey a
position or an argument about a
particular topic while expounding such
through a seri es of di scussi ons.
In terms of structure, a typical essay is
composed of three main partsthe
introduction, body, and conclusion.
The introduction is the part that presents the topic and the thesis statement or your main argument.
On the other hand, the main body part constitutes three paragraphs, each presenting unique discussion
related to the topic and thesis statement. Each paragraph intends to prove the validity of the thesis
statement. Meanwhile, the conclusion restates the thesis and synthesizes all the discussions in the main
body.
The most common structure of an essay is the so-called five-paragraph essay. The introduction part
constitutes the first paragraph, the body includes the three discussion paragraphs, while the conclusion
part makes up the last paragraph.
Below is an example of an outline for a five-paragraph essay:
Introduction Introduction of the topic and thesis statement
First Supporting Idea Supporting argument, details/examples, and transition
Second Supporting I dea Supporting argument, details/examples, and transition
Third Supporting Idea Supporting argument, details/examples, and transition
Conclusion Restatement of thesis, synthesis of discussion

There are different types of essay that may or may not follow the usual five-paragraph structure
depending on the required length or scope of the topic and discussion.
An essay for literature class for example may follow a five-paragraph structure but it remains different
because it involves thorough analysis of a literary work or reading material. Typically, this essay may be a
response to a material, a reflection, or an answer to a specific question related to the reading.
Meanwhile, an expository essay is another type of a specialized essay. Depending on length, this paper
can follow the same five-paragraph structure but it can also be lengthier depending on the requirements.
Remember that an expository essay requires a writer to investigate an idea, provide and evaluate
evidence, expound on the idea, and create an argument concerning an idea. Within this type of writing,
there are also sub-types to include comparison and contrast, example, analysis, and cause and effect
essay among others.
Another specialized essay is the persuasive
or argumentative and position papers.
Accordingly, this essay centers on the need
for a writer to prove a point with a goal to
influence the opinion of the reader and
clarify an issue. This type of academic paper
demonstrates logic and reason. Remember
that the format of a position paper may vary
according to requirements.
A rhetorical analysis may be regarded as an essay although most of the time, it does not follow the
usual rigid five-paragraph structure. I nstead, a rhetorical analysis reviews a variety of communication
materials to include news reports, editorials and opinions, research papers and journals, television shows,
films, documentaries, and print and television commercials. This review involves exploring, discussing,
and evaluating the way the material has employed the so-called three rhetorical approaches known as
logos, pathos, and ethos. Remember that the logos approach pertains to the use of logic in order to
appeal to the audience. On the other hand, pathos is involved with the use of an affective or emotional
appeal. Ethos meanwhile is an approach that scrutinizes the authority and credibility of the author or
producer of the material.
