The literary essays are topping the lists of the most difficult essays. There are many reasons for that fact, but there is another weird one. The teachers love the literary essays. Students think that they get this type of essays just to get the average grade among the class lower. The reason for such thoughts is simple. The main one is the fact that it is impossible to write such a text without a proper preparation. It does not only require the student to read the text, but also analyze it fully and get some thoughts on it from their perspective. For example, the boring body of the text and the conclusion without any analysis make the text look bad in the eyes of the checking person. Therefore, the students tend to go online and seek help there. Yet, all they get are the articles on the topic of the text, while there is no information on how to write a certain part of a literary essay. That is why this text was created. It aims at people that require help with their first paragraphs and the start of the literary essay in general. Here are some of the useful hints.

  1. Prepare the information prior to writing

This part is the most important one if you really want to get the best literary essay that you can. It requires you to spend some time before you even jump to the writing part, which nobody likes. However, what everybody likes is a nice and ready essay, but it is not going to happen without that preparation part. Therefore, make sure to spend some time on it. During the preparation try to have all of your homework done in advance, so you do not have to get away from writing but focus on the main stuff. Also, when you will be all in the writing you can start to look for some useful information online. For the first part, you will also need some research on the topic in order to understand how to write the thesis statement. The research will give you the ability to create a thesis which will give you a chance to write a lot of interesting things in the main part of your text. Do not forget to check every part of the info that you take from the Internet, as it is mostly fake nowadays. Remember, that you are not going to use this information in your first part of the text but in the main part. You are doing this just to make your life easier in the future.

  1. Brainstorm your thesis statement

This is a technique used by some of the professional writers, who want their essays to be the best among the best. Therefore, they try to find only the best ideas for their text, and that is why they use the brainstorming method. It gives the writer a chance to find such ideas that would make the whole text look much better. Usually, it is hard to find such an idea by just thinking about the topic of the text. That requires you to take a piece of paper and start to visualize everything that you think of in terms of the text. After you are done with writing or drawing some of the ideas you should start to think of some other things with a similar topic. That will allow you to find some new stuff that might make your whole literary paper a much better unit. Do not forget to cross out some of the worst ideas, as they might make the text even worse than before the brainstorming.

  1. Explain the thesis

That is a part, which people often forget about. They think that the thesis statement is the introduction part in general. Yet, when you are writing something bigger than a short essay, you should definitely try to give some explanation to the thesis statement. That is not just something that you have to do for the reader’s convenience. It is going to be useful for you too, as when you move on to the middle part you will have to write something based on the first paragraph. Therefore, when you are explaining something in the main part you are also doing that for yourself. Make sure to explain every part of the thesis. That will allow you to find more relevant information for the body. Moreover, you will be able to get the better statistics if you know what to search for.

  1. Make a transitional paragraph

That is something you would miss in a normal text, but for the literary essay, it is best to add something that would give the reader a chance to rest from a big information flow. Add some quotes from the author of the literary piece you are writing about. Also, you can insert some fun facts about the text and so on. Remember that the transitional paragraph is something where you have to forget about the new information because you are going to hit the reader with a lot of it in the next paragraphs of your literary essay main body.
