Critical Essay

A critical essay is one that evaluates your attitude toward a given topic, whether an article, paper or other written material. For a critical essay to be effective it should begin with a brief statement that expresses your point of view or main idea. The body of the essay must contain supporting facts that justify your line of thinking or reasoning, followed by a summary of all the major points in the essay. Finally, the essay should close with a conclusion reaffirming the thesis or main idea statement.
