Essay Guideline

Every student knows how it is difficult, almost impossible to write and organize the first writing assignment. It is more difficult, if the student writes it alone for the first time. Lack of experience, lack of time, and undoubtedly lack of knowledge on the process of the completion of the essay-contribute to this uncertainty. How it can be overcome?! Certainly, the more students knew about the process of the writing of the essay, the less they would fear it.

Let us explain some of the differences and similarities between several types of the essays. For most of us, even for those, who have already graduated from the Universities, any writing assignment means something formal, something academic that should correspond to some universal standards. In most of the times that is true. A tutor would like you to produce well written and well organized paper and to evaluate your ability to research thoroughly and write according to some rules.

However, there is a type of an essay where all these requirements may be jettisoned. This is an informal essay. Here, in this type of writing assignment you are able to reveal your personality by talking directly with your reader intimately and frequently humorously. Nevertheless, you should have a good plan of the essay; however-informal style is the most important point. There is not any universal rule on how this essay should be completed, try to imagine the conversation between you and your friend, where you will be able to discuss the topic or event you care for or some person that has impressed you. Your opinion, in form of monologue, but informal even with humor should be clearly stated.

But certainly, not all types of the essays can be completed this way. Informal style is certainly an exception from the rule. In many types of the essays you have to stick to some definite structures and even some rigid rules. Let us examine compare/contrast essay. It is undoubtedly, one of the most difficult types of the essay, yet it is one of the most important and useful ones. It allows you to develop compare and contrast skills, to improve your ability to see and evaluate similarities and differences in objects, things, personalities and events.

Several useful tips for this type of an essay:

1) First, you should evaluate similarities, then you must find an evaluate differences.

2) If you compare some facts, evaluate one fact at a time; do not try to jumble them together.

3) Do not try to compare and contrast incomparable features (for example the taste of the lemon and the toughness of the ball’s cover.)

Many students also experience some difficulties in the writing of the literature essay better.
It is not possible to provide the reader with universal guide to this type of an essay. However, every literature essay comprises some indispensable elements:

1) It should be succinct and must be written in lucid and understandable style.

2) You should develop well-organized plan of your essay.

3) Try to be more argumentative and more creative. Your tutor would like to see and evaluate your ability to analyze and understand the meaning of the text your have read.

Certainly it is not possible to reveal al elements of several types of the essays that the students are assigned with. You need to study guides and instructions more thoroughly to understand the requirements and purposes of your essay better.

“Family for and individual is a multiplied self”, says the saying, one can’t but agree with. A family is the first social group where you grow up and learn the simplest things. So the influence of it makes the first step in formation of a personality. It is hard to see, how negative can this influence be. In the twenty first century it seems as if there are no problems inside the social group and everything goes fine but when you hear about numerous accidents that happen in one’s household your hair starts rising from a thought: “How could mother nature possibly create such a monster?” Family violence is not a surprising fact today and sometimes people even show indifference towards it. As soon as it won’t happen to them they don’t care, but when it comes to trouble in our household, we rush to complain about everybody’s indifference to your situation.

The most horrifying thing about family violence is that children suffer physically and mentally most of all. In one of American schools children were asked to write a compare and contrast essay on a free topic. When the papers were turned in teacher went home taking them along. She didn’t show up at work on time, she was at the dean’s office, crying and reading a paper of one student, who compared life in his family with the life of his friend’s. The case ended in the court and cruel parents were put into jail for three years each for child abuse. I’m quite sure that we’ll have to read a lot of similar compare and contrast essays if we give the task to every school in the US. Mass media is full of stories like this and that leaves us with no hope for this problem to be solved. Fortunately, we still have people who think that their duty is to help those in need. They arrange funds, create associations, and get their force into the governmental branches and into international organizations. They do a lot to correct the situation but unfortunately there is no way to see this terrible thing coming in a family.

Cases of violence don’t depend on social or financial status. It happens in wealthy household as well as in the family of the poor. Sometimes a conflict razes out of nothing, a trifle that makes people nervous and anxious. We can describe various situations for a very long time and make this story endless, but our main aim is to help those who have survived or observe violence in the family. First of all, you must remember that violence can be not only physical but also mental and sometimes the consequences of the last are more severe than of the first. Your role in the family doesn’t matter. Just because you are a son or a mother you don’t have to stand violence because of some rules that you were taught. Every person has a right to protect his/her life, it is said in every constitution and you might want to buy a one for reference.

If you have experienced family violence, don’t be afraid to tell about it. The quicker you do it the sooner you’ll get help and be safe. There is nothing to be ashamed of. In this situation you are not guilty, you are the victim, besides if you don’t turn for help at once, and other members of the family may suffer. It is a sad topic to discuss, but this is a burning problem nowadays and without discussion there will be no solution. Everything comes from the genuine interest. If you are willing to help and have some suggestions, I’m sure many people will be showing you gratitude.
