The Abstract Essay

The most usual questions involving short compositions on abstract subjects are those asking for the advantages or disadvantages of an object or course of action, or the causes or results of an event.

Here your main concern is to preserve balance in your answer. Keep strictly to the matter in hand.

Agains, be impartial. For example, you may be a cricketenthusiast; you may detest the game; but it is your part to leave your personal feelings out of account and deal with both advantages and disadvantages fairly and equally. If you are asked to write two paragraphs on the advantages and disadvantages of cricket as a summer sport in England, devote one paragraph to advantages and the other, of equal length, to disadvantages.

Most abstract subjects, however, are too difficult to be the theme of simple composition.
