Common Application Essay: Top Secrets of Perfect Writing

The Common Application (also known as the Common App) can make the application process easier. Instead of writing many essays, you can register on the website of this not-for-profit organization and submit the same admission essay to any of 456 member colleges in the United States and other countries.

Now you can apply wisely using only a few clicks of a mouse. However, it makes the quality of common application essays extremely important.

Take a closer look at top secrets of perfect writing and learn how to make application essays truly brilliant.

Common application essay: 6 options

You can choose between these six topics for your common application essay:

Evaluate an important experience, challenge, or ethical dilemma you faced; discuss how it affected you as a person.
Discuss a problem of personal, local, national or global importance and its significance to you personally.
Write about a person who has influenced you greatly; discuss that influence.
Choose a fictional character, a historical figure or an artwork (painting, music, literature, etc.) that has influenced you; discuss that influence on you.
Describe an encounter that illustrates the importance of diversity in a community from your point of view.
Your choice.

Common application essay format

Note that each of the above options focus on you as a person. Surely, your writing skills are important for writing a winning college application essay. However, proper presentation of your personal qualities is even more important. No matter which category you choose, make certain to relate it to your personal experience and development.

For example, if you choose the second topic and decide to write about global warming or AIDS orphans in Africa, make sure to make it your personal reflection and explain why this issue is important to you. Tick the box you have chosen in the application form to avoid confusion of application officers. Kindly note that one variant of your essay will be sent to all colleges. No specific versions for different colleges or universities are permitted. Actually, this is what is meant by a "common" application essay.

Common application essay: word count

Pay attention to the requested word count of a common application essay, since for 2011-12 the limit was set to 250-500 words. It does not mean that the assignment has become easier to write. It means that college commissions prefer quality over quantity. Try to make your admission essay clear and succinct. Try to express more ideas using fewer words. Even though most college admissions officers promise to read all of your essay up to its 501st word, you should not put your papers at risk. Members of most commissions agree that nearly all common application essays exceeding 700 words would be better if made shorter. So, cut unimportant words whenever it is possible.

Common application essay: avoid redundancies

Check this list of redundant pairs of words and see how you can easily make your common application essays shorter and clearer:

Redundant	Right
end result	result
final outcome	outcome
large in size	large
round in shape	round
at an early time	early
of a bright color	bright
basic fundamentals	fundamentals

Common application essay: know your enemies

Here are some more words to be cut out from your common application essays:

Basically;
really;
specific;
particular;
type of;
sort of;
generally.

You may delete these words from your common application essays and see that sentence structure will be improved, and the meaning will not change.

X2: X-MEN UNITED

A group of ostensibly good mutants size up a newly reunited pair of genocidal mutants while a more sinister threat emerges. An you probably know, the X-Men films are based on a successful comic book series from Marvel, and like Spiderman and DC Comics stars Superman and Batman, there is a necessary suspension of disbelief, beyond the usual level for summer blockbuster films. Therefore, this review will disregard the tenuous baseline assertion that humankinds next evolutionary step took place over the last half-century resulting in human beings capable of a) teleporting, b) shooting laser beams for your eyes, c) healing from stab wounds in a second or two, d) freezing all human behavior, and e) psychically manipulating metal, the weather, or fire.

Like the first film (the best film essaes from Mcessayservice), X2 is directed by Bryan Singer (The Usual Suspects, Apt Pupil) from a script by the new team of Daniel Harris (The Killing of Candace Klein, Dancing with Agnes) and Michael Dougherty (Season�s Greetings). Besides the built-in comic book fan audience, the filmmakers are cashing in the cross-marketing cachet of Star Trek�s underrated Patrick Stewart (A Christmas Carol, The King of Texas) and The Lord of the Rings star Ian McKellen (Gods and Monsters, Apt Pupil). Not to mention the rest of the all-star cast, including Hugh Jackman (Swordfish, Kate & Leopold), Anna Paquin (The Piano, 25th Hour), Alan Cumming (Titus, The Anniversary Party), and the triple male lure of Halle Berry (Monster�s Ball, Introducing Dorothy Dandridge), Famke Janssen (Goldeneye, Deep Rising), and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos (Femme Fatale, Rollerball). The film crackles with star power, supported by glossy special effects. The film is designed as a visual treat, which is evident from the opening scene (the most dazzling special effect comes from Alan Cumming himself, who has somehow mutated from foppish indie character actor into kick-butt action hero).

Yet the story does not fully support all this weight. The film is ultimately a satisfactory experience, but it lacks the exhilaration and the immersive plotting of Star Trek: The Next Generation, or The Lord of the Rings films, the franchises that the X-Men movies� two leading actors are better known for. At all times, X2 feels like a topical summer film constructed and timed to take advantage of the start of summer vacation. Part of the difficulty in creating a compelling story out of the X-Men set-up is that there are too many superpowers overlapping to create authentic drama. For example, there are several dire moments in the film related to water, that the X-Men seem unable to face, yet Storm and Iceman both show the ability to control weather and liquids with ease. Why dont they do anything? Furthermore, if Nightcrawler can teleport anywhere as long as he can see where he�s going why is any X-Person at risk by standing in a dangerous location? And Jeans husband Scott seems so bland, and given so little to say or do, that he could have stepped out of Sesame Street. No wonder an unknown actor plays the role. The inherent flaws in this overloading of powers and superheroes is further exemplified by the ease with which it can be spoofed ��‚�š��€š�� as in The Tick, or the Ben Stiller-starring film Mystery Men.

Plot holes aren��‚�š��‚�ž�t the only thing that X2 has in common with other blockbuster films. Charles Xavier runs the mutant version of Hogwarts, while expanding his consciousness through a sphere that seems to be a redressed version of the stellar cartography room from his previous Star Trek set. Mutants pushing deflecting energy beams at each other seems reminiscent of Willow, Attack of the Clones, and The Lord of the Rings films. The US presidents willingness to take his country to war and retract constitutionally established rights in the name of national security is just like, well, thats real life, but it looks like� rerun of a bad movie.

While on the subject of political fodder, it does seem strange that when the police and government forces close in, thinking the mutants are a terrorist threat, Wolverine responds by eviscerating them. Since he clearly is virtually immune to their weapons, his maniacal killing of those who are under misguided orders or mental control seems excessive, especially in light of the moral behavior of his companions. On the plus side, every single aircraft, the X-Men�s jet, the air force jets, and a helicopter, are all piloted by women. Perhaps this is an attempt to atone for the male-centric title of the franchise.

Narrative Essay Topics Should Contain a Story that is Interesting

Narrative Essay Topics are Best Written Based on Personal Experience

Students in high school and college are often assigned narrative essays among other types of essay writing, as a part of their writing assignments. In order to be able to select good essay writing service, they need to firstly know what a narrative essay is and how to write one. Only then will they be able to submit a successful narrative essay.

�

Defining the Narrative Essay

Unlike other essay types, the narrative essay is written as if telling a story. This type of writing provides students the ability to be free with what they write as it enables them to express themselves in a moving and creative manner. Writing a narrative essay is similar to that of telling a story. Therefore, your narrative essay should include characters, plots, settings, climax and an introduction and a conclusion. Every story ever read includes these important features and your essay too, should include them as well. The only time a narrative essay is not written as a story is when students are assigned the writing of book reports. Experience with narrative essay writing makes the college application process easier too.

�

Topics for the Narrative Essay

There are many narrative essay topics you can use to write great essays. These essays are not difficult to write if the right topics are chosen. With the selection of a good essay topic, you are well on your way to write a good essay. Below are some topics you can consider for your narrative essay coursework writing.

A memorable day

An embarrassing moment

The greatest vacation you have ever been on

An experience which left you questioning your faith

A chance encounter with an unusually frightful person

A death defying act

Surviving a tsunami or earthquake or any other natural disaster

An experience that changed your life

�

As you can see the possibilities for good topics for narrative essays is limitless. If you find a good topic you will be able to write passionately and expressively.

�

Selecting the Best Topic

Most students resort to essay writing help because they do not know how to select the best topic for their essays. This happens when they are given a choice with topic selection and do not know what to choose.

Topics for narrative essays should be enjoyable to you. Topics for narrative essays can be highly technical or very simple. The best topic when selecting is one which you feel happy writing. This will reflect in your essay.

Topics for narrative essays can be written on easily if they are based on your own life experiences. Writing a non fictitious story will make the flow of words better than when you have to think about what to write.

�

The next time you are assigned narrative essay topics for writing, you should consider the abovementioned criteria and you will be able to submit a successful narrative essay.
