The book on essays is for you if you prefer to learn by example rather than explanation or direction. The learning method is unique because it focuses on showing you, rather than telling you, how to write an essay. Fifteen different types of essays are defined and exemplified using five-paragraph mini-essays. The examples are for Analytical, Argumentative, Cause, Comparison and Contrast, Critical Analysis, Definition (Specific), Definition (Subjective), Descriptive, Effect, Expository, Illustration/exemplification, Narration, Persuasive, Process (Information), and Process (Direction) type essays. Each mini-essay has an introduction, body, and conclusion. Simply follow and expand upon the examples provided, and you will be able to write quality essays. The book on words for college papers and presentations lists words that can be used to create papers and presentations that are more academic or professional. Complex words are listed along with their meaning for easy understanding.
