ABSTRACT
Often you will have been offered by a title-or discovered in your research-some crucial proposition on which you can centre the entire structure of your essay, examining the relevance and accuracy of that one claim. Your essay may eventually come to a concluding sentence which says little more than ‘Yes, I do agree’ or ‘No, I do not’. Which of these destinations you choose to reach, though it should concern you, may not matter much to your reader. The route, however, certainly will.
