ABSTRACT
In writing an essay, we must start with an introduction. This introduction should cover glorious four concepts that are the key aims and scope of the essay, sense of the critical orthodoxy, outline of methodology, and succinct statement of argument. Read through the paragraph and notice how one point moves smoothly and elegantly into the next, in a logical sequence. It is a good idea to apply 'internal coherency' test to the introductions. Use a simple and very convenient phrase for outlining the scope of the essay. Morrissey croons, to turn to a real student essay from a third-year English under graduate, whom we'll call Dan, although all names in this book have been changed to protect the guilty. His essay discusses Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility. He also includes a section that locates his discussion within the wider critical debate; there's a sentence, too, telling the reader what his essay seeks to establish.
