I believe that a strong and to-the-point thesis is essential to creating a strong essay. The thesis serves as a guide to the reader and helps direct the readers argument. Another important aspect that an essay has to follow is focus and clearity, the reader must be able to soak in all of the ideas presented and feel as though they are clearly layed out. Good transitions and examples are important, too.
One of the essays: C Mrs. Bennet: Austen's Punching Bag in my opinion exemplies all of the qualities a good essay needs. It presents a clear thesis and claim as well as using sophistocated diction, yet it does not loose the reader's focus. This essay stays on track and uses mainly one example, Mrs. Bennet. The use of less in this essay is definitely more. And his one example is effectively explored and broken down into more in depth examples. I also feel like this essay possess a lot of the writer's own claims; staying original is very important.
