Essay Structure

Writing an academic essay means fashioning a coherent set of ideas into an argument. Because essays are essentially linear—they offer one idea at a time—they must present their ideas in the order that makes most sense to a reader. Successfully structuring an essay means attending to a reader's logic.

The focus of such an essay predicts its structure. It dictates the information readers need to know and the order in which they need to receive it. Thus your essay's structure is necessarily unique to the main claim you're making. Although there are guidelines for constructing certain classic essay types (e.g., comparative analysis), there are no set formula.

Answering Questions: The Parts of an Essay

A typical essay contains many different kinds of information, often located in specialized parts or sections. Even short essays perform several different operations: introducing the argument, analyzing data, raising counterarguments, concluding. Introductions and conclusions have fixed places, but other parts don't. Counterargument, for example, may appear within a paragraph, as a free-standing section, as part of the beginning, or before the ending. Background material (historical context or biographical information, a summary of relevant theory or criticism, the definition of a key term) often appears at the beginning of the essay, between the introduction and the first analytical section, but might also appear near the beginning of the specific section to which it's relevant.

It's helpful to think of the different essay sections as answering a series of questions your reader might ask when encountering your thesis. (Readers should have questions. If they don't, your thesis is most likely simply an observation of fact, not an arguable claim.)

"What?" The first question to anticipate from a reader is "what": What evidence shows that the phenomenon described by your thesis is true? To answer the question you must examine your evidence, thus demonstrating the truth of your claim. This "what" or "demonstration" section comes early in the essay, often directly after the introduction. Since you're essentially reporting what you've observed, this is the part you might have most to say about when you first start writing. But be forewarned: it shouldn't take up much more than a third (often much less) of your finished essay. If it does, the essay will lack balance and may read as mere summary or description.

"How?" A reader will also want to know whether the claims of the thesis are true in all cases. The corresponding question is "how": How does the thesis stand up to the challenge of a counterargument? How does the introduction of new material—a new way of looking at the evidence, another set of sources—affect the claims you're making? Typically, an essay will include at least one "how" section. (Call it "complication" since you're responding to a reader's complicating questions.) This section usually comes after the "what," but keep in mind that an essay may complicate its argument several times depending on its length, and that counterargument alone may appear just about anywhere in an essay.

Answer 6

Bethlehem is in Israel. This is, it is in the Middle East, which is the Western rim of Asia if you insist on a category. In practice, the Middle East is the meeting place of Asia Europe and Africa, and is therefore not particularly typical of any continent. It’s a wild and happy mixture. Esau and King David were both redheads, while Moses’ wife was black. Anybody who is sceptical of that should just look at a typical street scene, in Bethlehem or anywhere else in the area.

Answer 7

The Hebrew Bible, which says that the city of Bethlehem was built up as a fortified city by Rehoboam, identifies it as the city David was from and where he was anointed as the king of Israel. The Gospels of Matthew and Luke identify Bethlehem as the birthplace of Jesus.

Answer 8

The city of Bethlehem is located in the Judean Mountains, about 10 miles south of Jerusalem. The city sits at an elevation of around 2,550 feet, making it one of the highest cities in Israel. Bethlehem is located near several major trade routes, which helped to make it a prosperous city in ancient times. The city was also located close to rich agricultural land, which allowed for the growth of crops and livestock. In addition, Bethlehem is situated in a region with a mild climate, which made it an attractive place to live. Today, Bethlehem is a major tourist destination due to its historical significance. Every year, millions of people visit the city to see sights such as the Church of the Nativity and Manger Square.

Answer 9

Bethlehem is a town of about 20,000 people in the West Bank. Bethlehem is located between Jerusalem and Jericho. The hills that surround it tend to make it colder in the winter, and warmer in the spring, but they are a good site for defensive purposes.
