Essay Writing Spot

I was uncomfortable writing fiction. My love was the personal essay, rather than the novel. - Alain de Botton

Widely thought to have begun with the French writer and philosopher,
Montaigne, in the 1500s, the essay form has evolved greatly over time
and has come to be an essential genre of critical and creative
expression. Of course, for most high school kids the history of the
essay is not all that important, what matters is what the essay can get
them or what it can express.
