    An essay is a "short formal piece of writing..dealing with a single


    subject" ("Essay," 2001). It is typically written to try to persuade the reader using
    selected research evidence ("Essay," 1997). In general, an academic
    essay has three parts:

    1. An introduction that gives the reader an idea of what they are about to learn and
    presents an argument in the form of a thesis statemen
    2. A body, or middle section, that provides evidence used to prove and persuade the
    reader to accept the writer's particular point of vie
    3. A conclusion that summarizes the content and findings of the essay
