What makes an essay good and what makes an essay excellent?

I’d like to know this because I have an upcoming essay due. With the knowledge given here, perhaps I can make a jump from good essay to excellent essay.

Thanks in advance

okay. You want to shoot for an excellent essay so forget abotu me describing the good essay. You need to have a variety of different kinds of sentences. Like, you don’t want it all to be simple sentences, or all compound, or all complex. So, verify your sentences. The first sentence of your essay is called a hook. That means that you want it to catch the readers’ attention. This will be like a quote or an interesting fact. Also, to keep your essay flowing easily, use like transitional questions. Like say that you are writing about water conseravation. At the end of one paragraph, you can put “How can you conserve water?” Then in the next paragraph, explain how in that paragraph.

A good essay is just OK. It shows adequate information, contains good grammar, and spelling.

A GREAT ESSAY: Includes excellent information, sentence variety, few simple sentences and more compound sentences, similes, metaphors, onomatopoeia, historical context, great grammar, punctuation skills, no spelling mistakes, climax, resolution, makes the reader want to read on and know more about whats happening, has a beginning middle and end, and has a great grabber!

GOOD LUCK!
