What is an essay?
I think an essay is a sort of writing that has a strong personal presence. It should feel like the author is speaking to the reader. It can be about anything, but the personal presence is crucial. Moreover, for an essay to be good, I think it needs to be written with a passion. That is, the author has to care about the writing and has to want to say something. The author has to have something to say, and to write a good essay, has to want to say it.
