Writing is an art, which is worked on through out an individual’s life. Writing can be referred to as a sandwich. When making a masterpiece sandwich, you start with the bread, this is typical for every sandwich, and then you add ham, tomatoes, and pickles, everything that you can imagine for a delicious sandwich. Every single part is important to the flavor of your creation. To write an essay you need to have something to discuss about, you need to decide what kind of sandwich you want to make. You need a subject that has some sort of importance to you the writer. It is good to have background knowledge to be able to start an outline with basic knowledge. Next step for your sandwich you need to look in the fridge and pull out every thing you want to add. For an essay this can be Brain-storming. Brain-storming is an important process where you should write down everything you know about the subject of your choice. Your not writing the essay yet so feel free to write down everything that comes to mind! Next you will want to look at your list of points for your topic. Begin to pull out the main/important points that you want to explain more in depth. These points we be the meat, lettuce, and tomatoes of your essay. Organize your points, and research them to add support to your points. Be able to know your points well enough to describe each in great detail. Details are important! Once you have the order of each, then begin to form you thesis statement. After which you’ll begin to introduce your topic in the first paragraph. Here you’ll want to add your thesis to help your audience know what the author’s stance on the subject is. Last your going to finish your sandwich by compacting all the elements together. In your last paragraph, summarize your points and decide what your last message is to your audience. This is the part where you want to make clear what you are trying to convey to your audience.
Very nicely written, don't forget you can add your different rhetorical tools as part of your essay. I really liked the way you used your "Sandwich" analogy and all the visual rhetoric in your blog. I guess you would also say it is compare and contrast alongside the Sandwich.
