I dont know how to transition paragraphs and write conclusions

It's not very elegant but at least essays that tell me exactly what they are going to do and summarize it clearly at the end aren't fucking incomprehensible meandering messes

>In this essay I will be talking about...

>Hello reader, today I will be

The Almighty.

>In closing, gentle reader, I’d like to thank you. ‘What’s that?’ you say? Me thanking you? No, it’s not a misprint, for you see, I enjoyed writing this book as much as you enjoyed reading it. The End.

>to succintly summarize and thus conclude the analysis generated from the synthesis and speculation of which concern the aformentioned topics contained within this essay

"this quote shows"

I do this shit all the time when I'm trying to hit that word count rubric. Why can't professors just fuck off and let me write however much I feel like?

You don' t know how many shitty unorganized schizoid bullshit essays I've read from /lit/izens. These conventions atleast make it possible for someone to read your garbage, atleast be grateful for them

absolutely nietzschean, until the virgin kauffman got his hands on it.

I kid you not I'm taking a whole class based on this kind of stuff. Pic related

>Now, I know what you might be thinking..

In middle school I once handed in a two page essay written entirely in yellow highlighter at the last minute.

>In my view, the industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. This essay will attempt to analyze why using peer reviewed sources and a Debordian lens.

>This is my thesis

>essay paragraph is a single protracted sentence where each point is endlessly built upon by another
>endless use of semicolons, dashes and brackets to divide up parenthetical thoughts and subordinate clauses within subordinate clauses, within subordinate clauses

>in this essay i will attempt to persuade the reader to my point of view using facts, logic, reason, and citations.

Starting to wonder how many /lit/ posters are actually in junior high

Is this the high school writing thread?

>use "he/him/male name" for the good examples
>use "she/her/female name" for the bad examples

NGL that's pretty based. I fucking hate the social sciences' shit on using female names and pronouns.

>Oh, you're seven words short on limit? That completely invalidates what you've been trying to say and i cannot accept your work.

unorganized, discursive thought is peak intelligence. sorry you're so legitimately bugbrained that you need your shit formatted like a mathematical equation. bitch.

>uses sources found on the wikipedia page

>>17712115
How do people not figure this shit out intuitively through years of reading and writing? Do people just not listen or pay attention to anything they read and think about how it sounds or reads? It's not like the average person is spared from reading and writing essays in their primary and secondary education.

>source: book x, page 110
>never read the book but wikipedia said so

>>17714281

You would love my writing style then lol. I am very no nonsense when it comes to my essay. I always start with the objective of this essay is...

Then use tons of headings to better organize my ideas. Professors call my essays logical and organized. I don’t fuck with any of that purple prose shit.

>>17716263
By the way I never use “I” or first person. It makes the essay seem weak and less authoritative in my opinion

Once again based af Butters.

There is a lot of reading and essay writing, but at the same time it’s rigid. They give you a bunch of related questions you have to answer in your essay (instead of one) within a certain word limit- leaves little room for getting artsy.
