How to Write a Character Analysis

Saturday, November 7, 2009 in All About Essay by Cwriter | No Comments |

Writing assignments will keep coming up every now and then during your academic curriculum. There will be research papers, term papers and essays of different types and genres. These writing assignments will be concentrated on your main subject even though you will be doing some of them on your languages and other subjects. For English literature students, literature essays will be a regular exercise. They will deal with different types of essays as they are specializing in the language. Character analysis is one type of essay literature students will have to get familiar with.

Writing a character analysis is slightly different from the other essays. The structure will remain the same as other essays with an introduction, body paragraphs and conclusion, but the contents of these will differ from normal essays.

As the name suggests, this type of essay will focus on a particular character or all the characters in a particular book. The guidelines will specify whether you have to study one character and analyze it or you have to give an analytical report of all the characters in that book. If you have been asked to write a character analysis of one character, then the task is relatively simple.

Read the book at least twice to determine the role played by the character in question. Reading once will not give you a focused idea of the character. You have to give a detailed analysis of the character’s nature, the role and its entry and exit in the book, as applicable. Give an analytical review of how the character has influenced the story or the book. Discuss if the character has had a negative impact or a positive one. Give your view on whether the rest of the characters and story has been affected by that. You are allowed to discuss anything and everything that could be directly related to the character.

You will also need to evaluate the relation of the other characters to this particular character. You will need to figure out whether any of them needs to be mentioned in your analysis of the specific character. It is preferable to avoid mentioning other characters when the analysis is to be done on a single character. But sometimes it becomes inevitable to mention one or two of them to justify the analysis of the one in question. That is acceptable but do not detail on any characters other than the one in question. Digressing off into other characters will not only waste your space but also take the focus off the given character, thus making it look less like an analysis of that character and more like that, of all the characters in the book.

Understanding the guidelines and applying them to the point is the key to being able to write a very good essay. A character analysis is a rather simple task and if you just put in a little bit of effort, you can score very well in this particular type of writing assignment. You might also be asked to write research papers which come under the genre of character analysis. But the basic rule remains the same – study the character well and give a detailed analysis.

How to Write a Narrative Essay

Monday, November 2, 2009 in All About Essay by Cwriter | No Comments |

Narrative essay is one type of essay which will appear among your academic writing assignments every now and then. There are certain aspects which form the criteria for confirming the genre of an essay. The quality of the essay is determined by the level to which these aspects have been included in your assignment. Learning and understanding the rules and aspects of different types of essays is important if you wish to perform well in your academic writing projects.

Narration is the technique by which you present a story or an incident. It could be a story or a poem or it could even be a few scattered events which, when combined, forms a story. But the main aspect of narration is that it has to be said from the point of view of the narrator. There are instances where you will be asked specifically to narrate it from the point of view of another person. But unless it has been specified so, it is to be understood that the story is to be said, or narrated from your point of view. This is, indeed, the rule that applies to a narrative essay also.

While writing this type of essay, you will have to pay a lot of attention to the frame work or the outline of the story or event you are narrating. If the narration has to be smooth and interesting, it has to be in a proper order. If you are narrating a story, you should watch the thread of your narration. The order in which the paragraphs should be placed depends fully on the story in question, your level of education and also the kind of audience you are addressing.

Narration is an art. Those who have a flair for it finds it very easy to bring twists and turns in their narration and they also manage to surprise and sometimes shock the audience every now and then without confusing them. But if you are not sure of your narrative skills, it is always better to keep it simple. An interesting narration can be defined as something that is simple enough to reach out to the audience but at the same time, complex enough to hold their interest from the beginning till the end.

The body structure is important in all types of essays but it is even more so, in a narrative essay. The introduction can talk very briefly about what the narrative is about and some general facts about the narrative. If it is a story, you can give some information on the author or if it is an event, then some background information on the event you are about to discuss. The body paragraphs will contain the complete narrative and the conclusion will give a summary of the story or your opinion of the story. Remember to keep your opinion neutral and strictly avoid criticism.

Even though narration is an art, there are no skills which can’t be mastered, if you put in some effort. You can learn how to write a good narrative essay, if you understand the main aspects of this particular method of essay writing.

Facts to Know Before Writing a Biology Essay

Saturday, October 31, 2009 in All About Essay by Cwriter | No Comments |

Biology can be generally called as the detailed study of living organisms. You will be studying the subject and its sub divisions in detail if you are a science student. Science subjects have lesser writing assignments than art subjects or social studies. All the same, you will still be given several essays and research papers related to your subject for the assessment of your theoretical skills. You should understand the subject well enough to be able to score well in your biology essay projects.

Just a basic knowledge of biology will not suffice for you to prepare an interesting biology essay. Biology is a subject with many sub-divisions. The main ones are zoology, botany and micro biology. Each of these has further sub divisions which deal with finer details of each section.

Zoology is the science that studies the nature and structure of animals, which includes human beings. It deals with the physical aspects of the species. Anatomy, histology, physiology etc are the sub divisions of zoology. You will study each of these sub divisions in detail if you have chosen to pursue zoology as your main subject.

Botany, or the plant science, is the study of all form of plant life. It not only deals with the structural aspects of plants but it also studies the scientific aspects of plant life. This is guessed to be one of the oldest of sciences as man used to live in forests and used to depend on trees for most of their basic needs. So it is only logical to guess that he must have started studying it around the same time even though it was not known as a subject at the time.

The toughest of the three main divisions of biology is micro-biology. This is the science which was devised to study micro organisms in detail. Micro-organisms also come under the definition of living beings, even though it can’t be seen with naked eyes. Micro-biology is still considered to be one of those sciences which has revealed its least to man. Even though it has attracted researchers for centuries, this branch of science has not seen enough progress due to the complex nature of micro-organisms. Virology, bacteriology, parasitology, mycology etc are its sub divisions. Each, as the names indicate, deals with a different group of micro organisms.

Biology is a sum total of all these subjects, the studies of which form the base of our existence. Many other sciences are highly dependant on biological studies for their development. A very good example of one science which owes a lot to biology, is medical science. Depending on the topic of your essay, you should study the particular division of biology in detail, to be able to write an impressive essay.

Remember that being a science student is not an excuse for neglecting your writing assignments. In fact, you will find that learning the theory is the key to understanding the practical part of a science subject. If Biology is one of your subjects, then your biology essays and research papers deserve as much attention as your practical assessments.

English literature has so many sections and it consists of such a vast variety of literary works, that it takes a lot of effort to do justice to your literature studies. There are many genres of literature which only English literature students get to study in detail. One of them which is extremely popular and interesting to learn, is satire. To write an essay on satire or on a particular work which comes under this genre, you will need to understand this form of literature.

Satire is that literary form which talks about issues which the writer does not approve of, in a way that does not openly touch the topic. It is mostly presented in a comical form using sarcasm as the main weapon. It uses all types of literary forms like prose, verse and drama to reach out to the public. There are certain satires which are not comical too. This was not very common but it has been seen that all types of satire were appreciated by the public.

There were many issues which couldn’t be publicly opined about due to various reasons. Such issues were addressed through satirical works. When presented on stage, it just looked like a comedy or drama to those who had no relation to it. But good satires were written in such a way, as to convey the matter easily and very clearly to those who were involved in the issue.

This form of literary work became a favourite in expressing such issues because it proved to have much more effect than direct criticism. The issues addressed were mostly political or social and those of a very sensitive nature. Since these didn’t point directly or openly to the issue, the writer could not be ridiculed or held responsible for talking about the particular issue in question.

In time, due to the popularity of this literary form, many sub sections evolved out of it. Political satire and social satire are the most widely acknowledged sections of satire. The definition of these separate sections is clear from the given titles itself. You might have to look into these too, depending on the topic of your essay on satire.

Writing an Essay on Merchant of Venice

Tuesday, October 27, 2009 in All About Essay by Cwriter | No Comments |

Shakespeare’s plays are delightful to read and extremely interesting to interpret. For English literature students, it is one of the most important parts of their literature education. But ‘The Merchant of Venice’ is one story which is taught at the very early stages of education. Writing an essay on The Merchant of Venice will be easy once you understand the story well enough.

The main characters you have to worry about while writing the essay on The Merchant of Venice are:

• Antonio – a respectable Venetian gentleman
• Bassanio – Antonio’s closest friend
• Portia – Bassanio’s lover who gets married to him within the story
• Shylock – An evil Jew who is a money-lender

The play begins with Antonio brooding over how to help Antonio raise the funds necessary for his marriage to his lover Portia, who is a wealthy heiress. Antonio has no money to spare at the moment as his ships carrying his business profits are not yet back. Finally he asks Bassanio to take a loan using his good will as guarantee.

Shylock is an evil and ill-natured man and hates Antonio for his virtues and popularity. He has an old grudge towards Antonio. When Bassanio approaches him asking for the loan, he agrees after making them sign a bond saying he can cut off a pound of flesh from Antonio’s body, if he fails to pay the debt back within three months. Antonio agrees as his ships are due long before three months.

Bassanio wins Portia’s hand in marriage but soon learns that Antonio’s ships have gone missing which has left him unable to pay Shylock’s debt. He also learns that Shylock was about to cut off a pound of flesh from Antonio’s body, according to the bond. He leaves everything behind and rushes to Antonio’s aid. He offers Shylock thrice the sum due to him in return for the cancellation of the bond.

But Shylock, whose intention is only to get rid of Antonio refuses any kind of compensations. Portia who had followed Bassanio, presents herself in the court as a lawyer and states that Shylock should be permitted to take a pound of flesh from Antonio as per bond as long as he doesn’t spill even a drop of blood as the bond doesn’t refer to that.

Realizing the trap he is in, Shylock changes his mind to take the offered sum of thrice the amount but Portia argues that nothing is due to him but a pound of flesh and the punishment for trying to murder a gentleman. Shylock’s assets get divided between the state and Antonio and he is made to convert into a Christian.

The aspects of the essay you write changes with the level of your education. But knowing the story is important for any level of essay writing. You should also understand the characters and the role they have played in the story to be able to write a very interesting essay on the topic. Once you have figured out so much, writing an essay on The Merchant of Venice should be a very enjoyable writing assignment.

Pointers to Accomplish a First-Rate Article Essay

Essay is probably the easiest form of writing. It is a type of written work that allows the author to freely express his personal thoughts, while also giving a room for research.
