The Making Of An Essay
Essay:
(definition in French) - to try
- to try to make yourself feel understood
Montaigne - one of the most significant philosophers of the French Renaissance, known for popularising the essay as a literary genre.
This experience of writing essays made me feel, what I think is less smarter than I know I am. Somewhat, when I know I understand the topic, I struggle to write 5 whole paragraphs to explain a simple topic. However, when I would think that I did very bad in an essay, my teachers would give me a higher score than I expected. Finding out the two definitions listed above for the word essay, it made feel that I won’t be judged for my style of writing in the class. Therefore, I also have a feeling that having that thought while writing an essay can be used to motivate me to write better and positively. I hope that makes sense because I can’t explain it any longer.
