Essay Topics For Your AP English Exam

Essay Topics For Your AP English ExamThe above excerpt is from a book on essay topics and topic submission that I read recently, by James D. Wilson, who is an Assistant Professor at West Virginia University. It's a 'fully revised' edition of the e-book version he put together almost a decade ago, which was titled What You Should Say in the Essay Topic.He has updated the book to include all of the most important issues that you can encounter when you are writing the essay topics for your college essays. Here are some of the topics that you will come across when you are writing the topic for your AP Honors English Exam:o Repetition - Use the textbook, but modify it. Let your personal or imaginative interpretation change the composition. For example, make a sentence that includes an adverbial phrase - 'It became evident...' 'Despite its ongoing troubles, ...' 'Because of rising food prices...' Or even just a phrase like 'Therefore...' 'As years pass...' 'Some time in the future...' and so on.o Questions of Sense - It is not enough to use the textbook as an essay topics. You must ask yourself what it is about the textbook that makes it your favorite reading material. Also, you must ask yourself why you are reading the textbook instead of another book, and so on. These questions can inspire your creative writing.o Novelty - Don't limit your essay topics to anything that is already considered a part of the same genre. It is just going to confuse readers if you do that. So, do something else that is not in the best of your minds.o Romantic Fiction - Don't worry about having a theme about a single type of writing, such as 'literature 'or 'poetry'. Just make sure that you mix and match them well. For example, you could write a story about the love that a woman shares with a man, then write a story about how he is willing to do anything for her, then write a story about how she finds the words to explain how it feels. There are no rules that say you can't have several th emes in one essay topic.o Fiction and Non-Fiction - A lot of students have misconceptions about the three genres. This book gives examples of both, so it doesn't matter what the assumption is. To help get started, try to write an essay topic that is about as fictional as possible, using the non-fiction genre as a guideline.
