Default Does anybody know anything about quality essay writing?

I have got a home task to write an essay about World War II.
I am not very good in writing, though history is my favorite subject. I like the topic, but worried about putting things in the right order. Can anybody recommend where I can get good writing tips or at least Free essay samples ? I would be very grateful

Open microsoft word and begin a stream of consciousness. From the time you open that document, write down every thought that enters your mind, even if it is literally just a color, images of plants, or feelings of sexual arousal. At first it might be garbled and nonsensical, but as you interface with the document and focus your chi, you will notice relevant thoughts about World War II history appearing on the page. Do this for a couple hours and then you can either turn it in as is (recommended), or filter it down so the world only hears the thoughts your frontal lobe thinks it should hear (not recommended). Your frontal lobe is like the Smedley to your limbic Brad McQuaid. It's only interested in what is kosher and what's going to keep you socially safe in ideological lockstep with your community. But Brad, Brad is innovative, fun, and sexy, and Brad is where your soul is.

My topic is point 1 point 2 point 3 and that would be good if this thing happened.

Point one support support

Point t20 suppport support

Three pointer support support

In conclusion I feel dogs are best.

Oh I responded sincerely to a bot. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Still that is A+ essay material K-8 anywhere in the states. You add two more points in high school and an extra one for each year in college.

In conclusion I feel dogs are best.
The "intro paragraph (say what you're arguing), point #1-#3 paragraphs (support what you're arguing), conclusion paragraph (re-state what you're arguing while summarizing your supporting points)" is always a good staple, but it only works for 1-1.5 page essays. Anything beyond that and you can still apply the same basic idea, you just start having 2-3 paragraphs per main point (or for really long essays, each point becomes its own mini essay with the same 1-3-1 structure on each page ... its just those mini essays have to all ultimately support the paper's main idea).

As for the how, I'd agree with Lune's suggestion to just spit it all out on the page to help figure out what it is you want to say ... but then I'd try to create an outline from it. This will help you find the central thing you're trying to argue and the three-ish main things which support it. Once you have that outline, you can then try to structure your stream of consciousness to fit that outline.

in my academic career, i learned three concepts that netted me best marks on all my papers.

1. Identify the proper amount of cow & bull for the given context.
2. Regurgitate the thoughts conveyed to you by your instructors, being careful to relate them to your chosen subject in the process.
3. Tell your reader what you plan to tell them, then tell them, then tell them what you told them.

it is also useful to employ as much ambiguity as possible without appearing incoherent. confirmation bias will ensure that your reader interprets loose language to their liking unless you have given them reason to harbor an unfavorable perception of you.

also, Lune/Lora's SoC suggestion is a good one. i usually do this in my head while staring unpleasantly at my monitor for a few hours until my brain decides it's ready to deliver the coherent thoughts I need.
