Essay is a very old genre. It is as old as the human attributes. It is the flow of the beautiful art, the continuous struggle to get the best for the whole world. It appeared by its current shape by the appearance of magazines and newspapers. Through ages, it contributed in developing the communities and also thoughts.

Essay has its special characteristics. It differs from the journalistic report, the personal thoughts, and the school comprehensions. It consists of a mix of verse, prose, short story, reportage, criticism, history and geography.

And who writes this genre should be characterized by honesty and wisdom, and also should be distinguished by being cultured and inspired. Through ages, there were some good writers who really were the masers of this genre and did much for it. On the other hand, there were some who claimed being inspired enough to work on that genre.

Actually there are some inspired writers. When writing some thing, words smoothly flow as if it were a lovely girl meeting her lover after a long time. Some other writers isolate themselves in a room, and lighten the red lamp as if he is going to invent some thing unusual. He concentrates and concentrates and tries very hard to write an essay. And then, we get a weak uninspired essay with no sense.

Honesty and truth are the most important supporters of the good essay. Keep in mind that how much the writer was distinguished, talented, famous, all these are useless if he didn’t write some thing true and honest. Without these two elements, the essay looks like water, no taste, no smell; it will be just an artificial paragraph.

The real essay never gets old, never retires, whether it was published in a wall-magazine, newspaper, or a web site. It always has its effect, strength, reality, and honesty. It will be able to have its role in illumination and guidance. With the great technical development in the media means, the traditional press has stepped down and the free opinion and analytical press appeared, in which the essay is considered as a renewable art that never gets old.

Teach your kids how to write and express themselves and the world around them. Writing lightens the mind, teaches what is wrong and what is right, and makes them sensitive.
