I need some advice on Essay 1. Currently, I start with an anecdote and don't get into my short-term goal till the end of the second paragraph. I'm not sure if this is the right approach.
Should I spell out exactly what I want to do in the first sentence and then hit the anecdote? Does the order even matter?
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
I don't think that there is only one 'right approach'. As long as you're answering the question (that is KEY), whichever way you do it is fine. I would start off with the anecdote, and then get into the details from there on out, but make sure you are not using an anecdote just for the sake of it, because with 600 words, you dont have a lot of room.
Good Luck !!
