As part of the assignment for the term paper, do you need to write a biography essay? If yes, then here are some tips that will help you in your task. Writing a research paper or a dissertation on a famous personality or a well known figure is common in assessments for subjects like history, literature or language.  As the name itself indicates, a biography essay is the life story of a person. It consists of an outline of a person’s life, accomplishments and events in life, impact and influence on society, peers and contemporaries, family history and information etc. It may be a good idea to read up about a few famous people in every field like arts, sciences, music, theater, movies, politics etc. This will help you to be prepared in case you’re asked to write an essay on any prominent personality of your choice. You can also read some good essay samples to get a feel of the construction of the essay.

Begin your essay with an interesting fact about the subject. Normal opening statements like “XYZ was born in the year 1922 on the day x” is likely to be very uninteresting and dull. Your evaluator probably has some hundreds of essays to read, and you must make the opening or the thesis statement captivating enough to hold his attention. Adding an interesting snippet like a teaser or a one-liner with a curious question relating to the subject will probably set the tone and grab the attention of the reader.

Moving on to the body of the essay, make sure to include relevant information about the subject. If the person is famous for an invention that he made or for a book that he wrote, ensure that you write as much as possible about those aspects. Writing about the subject’s romantic escapades may sound fascinating, but may be totally irrelevant. Think of reasons why the subject was famous and what efforts he took to reach this fame. Include details about early childhood if they were remarkable. For instance, let’s suppose the person you’re writing about lived in stark poverty during childhood, but went on to become a multi millionaire. Readers would be extremely interested in knowing how this progress happened and the major attributes to his success. If this is relegated to the background, and there is more information on how many unsuccessful weddings the person had after he became a millionaire, that may not be the most effective usage of the biography essay space. Include details of important dates in the person’s life, but take care not to include so many that it gets monotonous and dry.

Summarizing the most salient points of the subject’s life and highlighting the impact he had/has on society or civilization is the right way to end the biography essay. Try to cite all your sources somewhere in the essay. The conventional way to finish an essay is to summarize all your facts, and this essay is no exception.

This type of essay combines the usage of strong logic and reasoning with facts in support of the idea so that it does not totally sound like an argument. A persuasive essay, at the end, is able to convince its reader to your way of thinking.

Writing a persuasive essay is not easy, so it is better to plan it thoroughly. The essay should contain an introduction, main body paragraphs, the opposite point of view and a closing paragraph. Introduction should give some background information on the topic in such a way that the reader becomes interested in your essay and it should also clearly present your point of view. All body paragraphs should elaborate on your idea with strong supporting evidence. The paragraph with the opposite view point should also be elaborate and accurate and should leave no point for discussion. It should clearly show that you understand both the pros and the cons of the topic. Conclusion should relate to the main idea and cleverly summarize the whole argument. Throughout the essay, a flow should be maintained from one paragraph to another.

While preparing the essay, keep on thinking about the possible questions related to your topic that one might ask. This will help in focusing on the different aspects of the topic. The following should be kept in mind while writing this essay-

• Know the idea behind the essay and choose your side of it. The topic and your thinking towards it should be very clear and you should be able to express convincingly why took that particular side.
• Know your audience and study them keenly. Know beforehand whether your audience agrees with your side, disagrees with it or is neutral towards the topic.
• Read extensively about the topic and gather as much data as possible because it is important to have thorough knowledge on the topic.
• Persuasive essays are generally based on some facts, so use statistical figures and other data in support of your argument. Using examples and quotes from experts who support the idea will help cement your point.
• An argumentative essay always has two sides and in the essay the other side’s point of view should also be presented. Elaborate on the other side and then use logic and reason to explain why your side is more legitimate then the other side.
• Check your essay for grammatical error or spelling mistakes.

After completing the essay, read it to see if it makes sense and will your reader’s be convinced. The facts presented in the essay should be genuine and should lead to conclusions and if at some point it deviates to some other important matter, it should lead back to your idea. In entirety, a persuasive essay should be able to captivate the reader’s attention so that they keep on thinking about it even after they have stopped reading it.

A piece of influential and persuasive writing can even change minds of masses or can bring a new theory for this entire system. Every one around can write, but the difference between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ writing skills is defined by the level of expertise and learning – only proportional to our ability of eliminating common writing problems. A persuasive essay or an article is quite well enough to describe your personality in terms of your approach and mindset, in front of your readers. In this article I will discuss some key points for writing a ‘powerful’ essay, assuming that you are grammatically sane:

  • Stick to the topic:

Always intend to stick with the topic. It makes your piece of writing interesting as well as understandable for your readers. If you are a student and you are asked to write some good essays or a thesis report, do not try to diverge from your topic or in simple words, never swing your stuff over the head of your instructors but make it easier and word to word clear for them. This approach is a basic necessity for a piece of writing to be influential.

  • Move with a moderate pace:

Dynamic shifts in the theme of your essay can distort the idea behind your writing. Convey your message keeping in mind that your readers expect you to walk along with them. In some cases writers are required to move with some rapidity. In this condition, summarize your idea in the ending lines of your essay so that readers can catch it.

  • Accomplish your purpose:

A persuasive essay, no matter how short or long it is, always tends to convince readers and thus transmits your thought. So, expect your readers to read between your lines and receive the message.

  • “Jargonize”:

Use some jargon if necessary, as it develops a good and refreshing impact of your writing plus it also increases the acceptability of your essay. This never means to over load your essay with jargon, but handle them as they are gems and utilize them carefully and not redundantly.

  • Valid argumentation:

Argue and justify your ideas sensibly.  It means you should never try to prove some thing with absurdity and using illogical statements. A persuasive essay is one which is sensibly structured and quite plausible by the readers.

  • Bell-Curve approach:

A typical bell-curve approach makes an essay to rise linearly, touch the maxima and to end linearly. It means your first paragraph should be an introduction, middle sections are to be linear progressions of the subject and ending sections should be summarizing. This results in an excellent and controlled piece of writing – a work of genius.

A well written and influencing essay is considered next to nothing. Your personal motive beside your core purpose of writing a potentially persuasive essay is to get knowledge. When you are knowledgeable enough to educate people and help them out in their writing problems – especially in article or essay topics formulation and sharing of ideas from these topics, your own writing becomes a source of inspiration for others. This is not as easy as it looks, but nothing is impossible – only if you move your fingers!
