The essay should always begin with a comprehensive overlook of what the audience should expect throughout the essay leaving out no surprises but allowing some curiosity to have them gain a strong enough desire to read the remaining paragraphs. This overlook should consist of a sentence that describes what the whole essay is focused on, then it breaks down and gives you more information but it's still vague enough to not have the reader know everything you're about to explain, keep the audience curious, and finally lead into a more comprehensive explanation of your information allowing the audience to lose the curiosity regarding each piece of information and before they completely lose interest you lead them into the next set of information. Finally you have to end with another comprehensive overlook at what the audience has just read allowing them to have the information they've just received but be reminded of the overall subject of the essay and the information provided. Finish the essay allowing the reader a slight curiosity to find out more, without any dissatisfaction in the amount of information you may have provided.

Blog Post #1: Essay Structure
The process of essay writing is different for everyone but it all comes down to the same steps. Research and collect content on your subject that would catch your audience's attention. This is done through deciding your stance, or subject, and finding the evidence to support everything you are writing about, whether you're arguing for a specific side or you're spreading information about a specific subject. Organize your content in a way to keep your audience attentive. Now is when you begin to write, show your arguments, evidence, and opinions in a way your audience may understand. Once you've completed your writing, read and revise, change anything that may not sound cohesive or could cause confusion, you don't want to have your reader lose interest because something is not within their understanding. Some things to help your audience not be lost would be good transitions between subjects and a good format when it comes to the essay as a complete work.

All of the blogs that Tyler wrote were very interesting and did a good job in reaching his desired audience, whatever the case was. I felt that he understood what he was writing about and that he did a great job in telling others in a way that they would understand. The blog titled “Blog Post #1: Essay Structure” was a good example of a blog trying to reach a desired audience. I think that Tyler understood what type of language to use and how to put it in a way that he was able to reach his desired audience. I believe that he did an excellent job stating what it was that he wanted to get through to his audience. He did an excellent job describing and explaining what essay structure is and how to do it properly.
