Conclusions are important, but you do not waste time and space rehashing points that were already made. … but they all have the common objective of presenting and defending a topic and a stance to the reader. These points should prove useful in guiding you through composing a short essay. Here are a few dos and don’ts in summary of this article. If you are stuck and cannot find a way to shorten your essay, try the necessity test. Take out every sentence in your essay to test whether your point has become weaker without it. If there is no noticeable difference in your essay after removing the sentence, then the sentence is not integral to the rest of the essay, and it can be removed. Limit your conclusion to no more than three sentences. Remember that a short essay should have all of the same components as a larger essay, but in less space. Try to include all of the necessary introspection and not present too many different points. Copyright in a work, whether it is a paper, song or film, resides with the author of the work. Unless that work is by an employee of a company or the author has signed a contract , the copyright in the work stays with the author. But while buying an essay is definitely a form of cheating, it’s very likely that you won’t end up owning the essay that you “bought”. First, by turning in a paper you paid for, you are lying to your teacher. When you place your name on top of your paper or on the cover sheet, you are saying that everything in that paper, unless specifically cited, is your work. By clicking “Continue“, you agree to our terms of service and privacy policy. We’ll occasionally send you promo and account related emails. Instead, you have to buy a monthly subscription for a certain charge. Again, you won’t know about this before you try to download content you have already composed, because the company doesn’t explain anything about their work on the site. Secondly, I would decide a paper length on the basis of the grading rubric. It also depends on whether or not you are bringing outside information into the paragraph as well. Buying a paper does not make it your work, neither for the assignment it’s submitted for nor in the eyes of the law. Since just buying an essay doesn’t make the author an employee, you don’t own the work unless you have a contract transferring copyright in it. While the person has agreed to let you use, it’s still, legally, their work. It is better to have one or two well-articulated and supported points than many good points that are poorly supported. Be ready to cut unnecessary segments out in order for your essay to meet the word count. Pick a topic for which you have enough room to elaborate. Be sure that your essay meets the word and page length requirement of the prompt. Using quotes makes a paragraph longer than not doing so. Of course, if you have been set a relatively short word limit, you may not be able to go in-depth at all, in which case a paragraph for each of the main sub-topics will likely be adequate.
