Is there any one who could help me with a minor essay?

OpenStudy (cowgirl1):

yeah...what so you need help with?

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

I have to write a 200-400 essay advice to a beginning writer on how to plan an essay and follow the writing process. What is the most important, specific step a new writer should take when deciding the purpose of an essay? Remembering to consider both the goal of the writing, and the motivation behind the writing. @cowgirl1 and I can't seem to start to put ideas i keep going blank I know that asking oneself questions on why one pick the topic to write about is a way to figure out the purpose but not sure if it's the most important

OpenStudy (cowgirl1):

oh wow that's tough one...I personally think you are on the write..er right track :-)

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

Thank you :) its just my professor is really a tough grader and i feel like that's not much for him you know?

OpenStudy (cowgirl1):

yeah I totally understand that um let me think about it for a bit like overnight maybe and if I think of something will post back or message you

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

No problem thank you :)

OpenStudy (batmano3):

I can gladly help you on this essay! :) please tag me if you need anything i am always in the english subject or online during the week hun.

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

@batmano3 hey! I definitely need some help I stayed up trying to figure out how to start but I was and am still blank :/

OpenStudy (batmano3):

okay show me what you got so far

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

That's the thing I have nothing yet because I'm trying to figure out what the most important specific step a new writer should take when deciding the purpose of an essay. I manage to work when creating some type of outline so I know i'm going to have 3 paragraphs since the word count is 200-400 . I. Intro 2.Body 3.Conclusion

OpenStudy (batmano3):

okay well what do you know so far about writing an essay? think what have YOU learned

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

Well essays have i guess different branches if that makes sense to call it. It could be a persuasive essay, argumentative essay, or an informative essay.

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

Also, the thesis is the most important part of the whole essay because it tells the reader(s) what the whole essay is about.

OpenStudy (batmano3):

yes and dont forget to mention claim and evidence

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

That also, because it supports what we are trying to talk about and it helps it to be reliable.

OpenStudy (batmano3):

Yes and detail is another good piece to add also it depends on what type of essay but rhetorical appeals help as well

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

yess, see the thing with me is i'm not a good thinker so when i'm trying to think about what this essay is asking me to write about I keep blanking out and feel like i'm not going to be able to stay in subject. I dont know how to exactly give a simple advice to a new begining writer when i myself am one too.

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

are you there o.o

OpenStudy (batmano3):

sorry caught up in something and i understand

OpenStudy (batmano3):

and its okay writing has a simple process you will get used to :)

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

No worries, it's okay :) but how i could i get started

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

@batmano3 you cant help?

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

or are you also confuse

OpenStudy (batmano3):

just make an outline it always helps

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

Well first i need to figure out the what the most important step is that's what i need help figuring out

OpenStudy (batmano3):

Yes

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

Yeah

OpenStudy (batmano3):

like what we said earlier those things are important to tell in ur essay

OpenStudy (babyx3boo):

Yeah but my professor its a very tough grader and so he wants to be ONE simple advice about the most important step when deciding the purpose of an essay? I was thinking it could be asking oneself why the choice of the topic? but something tells me that isn't the most important part of the essay
