2nd Essay in Review

I disagree with anyone who claims that this is the most difficult essay to write. Honestly it is probably the easiest to actually write, after you pick a topic. Picking a topic is difficult no matter what type of essay you are writing about, however when you chose a topic for an example essay you have to be sure to chose a topic which you can support your generalization with examples that relate to people other than you. The idea must be universal. Your topic must still be narrow, just like the description essay, but you have to expand the description and examples into something that everyone can relate to and understand. To me the example essay is just like the descriptive essay, except it requires a little more knowledge. If you do not know enough about you topic you may need to do a little research. Example: in my essay I wrote about how corporations use placement of colors, shapes, and words to make items in their stores look more appealing to the eye, so that we as consumers will be more likely to purchase their product. The examples that I used in my essay were facts, I had read about this online a few months before i completed my essay. So no, to me this essay was no more difficult than the next. My advice to the next 1101 student, research never hurt a paper.
