Good evening. I just want to say how much I love watching your YouTube videos. I am a retired veteran who never had the chance to go to high school. I am 38 years old and with my disability through the years of the military it has made going back to school so much harder than what it should be. I wrote my first essay ever a few weeks ago. And even though I need a lot of work and help in my writing. Thanks to you and how you broke it all down for me to learn. I was able to do my introduction, thesis, body and closing paragraphs. I am very proud because with your help I was able to make an 85. It was one of the hardest things I had to do in college. Especially since I never had that opportunity to go to high school and learn all these things I am so behind on. I am attempting to do this character analysis essay and once again I come to you for guidance. You don’t know how much it means to me that when I look up on YouTube I look for your face out of everything and everyone on here. I am delighted and so great full for you and your videos that help me understand. When I read to understand it doesn’t catch or sink in. But watching you and seeing it does a whole lot. Thank you again. Have a blessed day or evening. And happy Halloween 🎃

When were in high school my English teacher always requires essay in every topic in English we would encounter. Base on my stock knowledge, essay has three basic parts: introduction that aims to give the reader what is the essay all about, body it's typically about facts or anything that has anything to with the introduction part and lastly conclusion which aims to summarize all the parts of essay sometimes it may include your opinion or anything. I'm not good at writing essays but I have enough knowledge about it. Also, I find writing essays hard especially if it's in English which is my second language. Nevertheless, I sometimes find writing essays interesting.

pendahuluan
- menarik pembaca, menarik rasa ingin tahu
- latar belakang
- mendiskripsikan kontrks historis atau sosial
- mendifinisikan istilah istilah kunci
- memperkenalkan teoris atau penelitian yg relevan
- menyiapkan sisi sisi perdebatan yg berbeda
- jangan berlebihan simpan untuk isi

selanjutnya,
- presentasikan pernyataan thesis anda > mempersempit fokus dan menunjukkan dengan tepat apa yg ingin dikatakan tentang topik tersebut

pernyataan tesis: satu atau dua kalimat yg merangkum keseluruhan argumen (menentukan fokus keseluruhan)

tesis bukan sekedar pernyataan fakta melainkan pernyataan yg memerlukan bukti dan penjelasan

tujuannya menyampaikan dengan jelas poin utama tentang suatu topik dan menunjukkan alasan dibaliknya
