Good Essays

A good essay includes several different things. One of these things is that the essay is not just steps towards a conclusion, but that it helps you realize new things that you didn't know before. It should be a hunt for new ideas. Though an essay may include facts it is not centered around them, it is a creative opinion of the author. It is a reflection on the facts, not an analysis of them. Essays must tell the truth. In order for my essay to be a good essay it needs to include more reflection and insight on the topic.

Essays

I think that these are all essays because of the way that the authors because they are literary pieces that are true that include opinions, observations, and reflections by the authors. I actually enjoyed all three, they caught my interest and retained for the length of time i spent reading them. In The Stunt Pilot the author talks about how she in enthralled by the performance the stunt pilot puts on. In Ali in Havana the author talks about the general attitude towards smoking in Cuba, and how the most popular American periodical is Cigar Aficionado. In Silent Dancing the author reflects on her early experiences living in the U.S. and how she got her first spanking there for banging on the noisy pipes in the family's apartment. The fact that the story is true, and that the authors are able to put their own spin on it and be creative is what i believe makes all of these essays.
