In order to understand this you have to understand what a writing topic is and how it can be broad or narrow. The subject of your piece is its topic; your topic is what you are writing about. You might start with "Stuff people do" which is impossibly broad. You could narrow that to "Rituals people do", or further to "Marriage rituals", or further to "Marriage rituals in Europe" or again to "Marriage rituals in France", or "Marriage rituals in France in the 15th century", but when you have narrowed it to "Marriage rituals in 1474 in the LaForge family in Besancon, France" you might only be talking about one event or even none, and you will have nothing to say. So, while a very broad topic like "Stuff people do" leaves you with too much to say, an overly narrow topic leaves you with not enough to say.

What does a broad topic mean?

A broad topic is one that is very general and includes a lot of information. You want to avoid trying to write about broad topics in an essay or report, because you would not be able to fit all the information in - you'd have to write a book to explain a broad topic!For example, "Topics" is too broad a topic to write a paragraph about - "What does a broad topic mean?" is a good, narrow topic that I can easily write a good answer for!

It is important to ensure that the thesis focuses on a specific aspect of the topic without being overly broad or narrow. Consider revising the thesis to provide a clear direction for the paper.


A good way to stay focused and clear in an essay is?

Make sure narrow down your topic. I have found that most students try to cover too much on a topic. Let's say you are writing about volcanoes. If you try to write about ALL volcanoes it is hard to cover, but if you narrow it down to one type or one eruption it makes it much easier to stay on task and focused. illustrate your idea with examples. {apex} :)
