    PARTS OF AN

    ESSAY
    WHAT IS AN ESSAY?
     An essay is a short piece of writing that
    describes, narrates, discussses, explains or
    defends a certain topic or opinion.
     It can be based on a person’s ideas, or it may
    be a combination of a person’s and other
    people’s ideas.
    3 PARTS OF AN ESSAY

     INTRODUCTION
    BODY

     CONCLUSION
    INTRODUCTION

     It is the preview to the essay.


     It should motivate the readers to read the
    entire thing.
     Questions may be asked and state the
    argument.
     Some nights back, my oldest boy was
    reading aloud a poem entitled, “To the Filipino
    Youth” with passable accent and enunciation.
    When he got through he turned to me and said
    that he knew what it is to be a Filipino, but
    what is youth?

    -What is Youth?
    BODY
     It develops the introduction by discussing the
    arguments presented.
     It is composed of at least three paragraphs.
    Your paragraphs must revolve around only one topic.

     All the questions or arguments will be answered in


    this part.
    I thought for a while and then said: Youth
    is the grey imperceptible dawn that
    precipitates the morning: the wet foggy
    mountainsides and misty hilltops, the
    sparkling dew on the grass, the wild
    untrimmed vegetation of life, its carefree
    undergrowth.
    CONCLUSION
     This summarizes the points raised in the
    essay.
     The conclusion usually doesn’t last for more
    than one paragraph.
     It can raise a question to the readers or it
    can end with a challenge to the readers.
    Now I turned to my boy and asked him if
    he understood what I was talking about. It
    was beautiful, he said, more beautiful than
    this poem. But, he remarked, some parts
    about mountainsides and the sparkling
    dew or something were a bit confusing.
    Correct, I told him. Confusion is a part of
    youth. I told him to grow up and he’d
    understand. Grow up? Yes, I said. Growth
    is also a part of youth. And now would the
    boy please go to bed?
