opinion writing part 2. (Personal Essay)

1. A couple of things that you can use is more personal prespective by that i mean there can be a mix of facts and personal. Another thing that you can start is making connections on the essay and what it's about and having a hook that bring in the read and gets there full attention


2.One thing would be leaving the opinion aside w/ statistics. Now opinions are good as long as they make a connection. Generalizations should be no where near the essay. There should only be facts and just a alit bit of opinion if they make sense w/ the topic and helps.


3 No extra points for the number of facts you include. Academic essays contain more facts than opinion, personal essays contain more opinion than facts. But ensure the facts you use are accurate. Check names, spellings, numbers. Two sources of confirmation are better than one.

Writing essays in a great way to get your opinions off your chest, but avoid philosophical rants which make no connection to your reader’s experience. Again, keep it personal while relating to a wider world.

Take your ideas from wherever you can. Note your reactions to everything, pursue passing preoccupations and distractions, consider what makes you, glad, angry, passionate in what you read, see and hear. Mine your own past for incidents, images, lessons and epiphanies.
