Essay writing is a staple of a school's curriculum. Essays help students understand certain concepts better, explore new and foreign topics, and provide motivation for self learning and writing improvement.
But what defines a good essay?
Popular examples like the MLA essay format continue to provide a basis for the majority of English teachers to utilize in order to grade and standardize their papers. However, does an essay, written by a passionate student who fully understands his or her topic, that does not directly follow MLA be given a lower score than a mediocre article that does? Is an essay truly just a one way road, that requires a student to utilize a design not of their own making? Or is the format simply used for the sake of easier grading?
Essays, in my opinion, are written to prove a point. They're written in order to provide evidence and offer personal opinion on the thesis of choice. Essays are tools that help both writer and reader understand, comprehend, and explore a topic in creative and elaborate ways that are both informational, and vibrant in writing.
