Welcome to Writing Essays

Do you need help with your writing assignments, or do you need a few ideas about writing assignments? This blog by writer and professor Amy Lynn Hess, is a place for ideas, sample essays, and advice that can help you learn to write or teach others about writing.

This is a blog for both students and teachers.

Dedicated to Helping You Learn to Write

Sample Essays

In addition to posts about grammar and writing, there are essays here for you to use as examples for your own writing assignments.

Use examples to create your own, original thesis statements.

The essay topics you'll find here span several disciplines, like arts and crafts, poetry, literature, hobbies, lifestyle, cooking, critical thinking, and sociology. Each post is written in essay format, having an introduction, body, and conclusion. Each has an identifiable thesis statement, transitional words and phrases, topic sentences, and several types of evidence.  Each has been carefully proofread and revised for unity, coherence, and clarity.

All sources have been carefully cited in either MLA or APA format, and each essay has been added to both the Safe Assignment and Grammarly databases.
