This July, The New York Times Magazine published an essay titled "What's the Matter With College," and invited college students to write an essay in response to the article. Boy did they write. 600 students responded.
The point is, I'm always being asked for examples of great essays. In addition, most students want to know the elements of a great essay so they can write one themselves. In my opinion, there are many ways to write a winning essay. When it comes down to it, the best essays elicit emotional responses from their readers. The winning New York Times Magazine Contest essays are great examples of writers generating emotion.
If you are having trouble writing an essay, I highly recommend you read the winning essays from this contest: Click Here. You'll be inspired, and write an award-winning essay yourself!
