Understanding the Question or Task

Analysis of the problem or question is the first phase in essay writing and also the most crucial. Without understanding the problem or question put forward by the instructor, one cannot write what is required. If the requirements of the essay are clearly understood then everything seems to be cruising in the right direction. From researching to editing every phase simplifies and thus make essay writing an easier job. To understand the requirements of an essay the writer should thoroughly read the problem and focus on what is required. In short reading the problem thoroughly will give the writer an idea about the requirements of an essay. The writer should also emphasize on the type of question asked (evaluative, comparative, descriptive or discursive). The type of question specifies the approach that a writer has to adopt and follow. Thus, we can say that the analysis of question or problem shows the writer, a path to follow and the areas and issues that should be discussed and covered in the required essay.
