An essay is a composition of short prose writers who express opinions about a particular subject. A basic essay is divided into three sections: an introduction that includes background information that identifies the subject of discussion and introduction to the subject; body of essays that presents all the information on the subject; and the last is a conclusion that gives a conclusion by mentioning again the main idea, summary of the essay’s body, or add a few observations on the subject.
What distinguishes the essay and not an essay? To answer this question can be done by reference to the opinions or formulations that have been exist, but the opinions or formulations that have been exist is often still incomplete and sometimes contradictory that still contains shortcomings, too. For example the size of the essay, there was a free state, was, and can be read at one sitting; on the content of the essay, there are states in the form of analysis, interpretation and description (literature, culture, philosophy, science); and so has the style and method of the essay is who declared free and there is a stated basis.
Explanation of the essay can be more “safe and easy to understand” if pursued by borrowing division reasoning model la Edward de Bono. According to De Bono, reasoning can be divided into two models. First, vertical reasoning model (focus and set aside irrelevant) and the second lateral reasoning model (open interest and receive all the possibilities and impact).
From the distribution model of this reasoning, the essay tends to practice lateral thinking as analytical essays and tend not random, but can jump up and down and provocative. Because, according to the meaning of original essays he says is an attempt or experiment that did not have to answer a question in the final, but rather to stimulate. According to Francis Bacon, the essay is more a grain of salt appetizer than a meal is filling.
