Best Aspect of a Strong essay

I would say that the most important aspect of a strong essay would have to be it's use of good examples to present an idea or claim that is made in the paper. Also starting out with a good idea is the most important part because an essay that has an important idea that is so unique and has never been expressed before, will convince the reader to read the whole essay. If one writes an essay on an idea or theme that has been expressed over and over again in any review of a novel, than a reader will not be as interested in the essay because they have heard that theme or idea again and again. Also, a very important part of an essay is the starting introduction paragraph or even the title of the essay. I think these are key factors that will attract the reader and have them be interested in what you have to say. For example, is S for Sapphire, Sapphire's first line is; "Graham Greene could not simply take a fish out of water." If a reader just reads this sentence he will have no idea what the writer is talking about, but it is an interesting first sentence and the reader will definitely want to read more of the introduction to find out what the writer is saying. Also a title of an essay is; "Risky Writing: Style Successes." This is definitely a different title but interesting nonetheless, and these kind of titles will definitely have an impact on the reader.
