Hamlet, the Sample Essay and the Setting

Hamlet, the Sample Essay and the SettingIn a sample essay about Hamlet, the opening scene (and, naturally, the choice of paper to use is very important) is going to be critical. Many students write a partial scene and read it to themselves and perhaps others. But when they get to the actual essay, they've generally got an idea of what they want to say before they start. The student should know in advance what the work will look like before he or she starts.Of course, the student can easily consult other students' essays. But there are many times when, when the student is lost, it's not clear what the scene should be like. This may make a paragraph, or even a page, seem much longer than it really is. A sample essay is an excellent way to get a feel for how the scene is written.And, some readers expect certain choices in the plot of the story. Sometimes, this will be true, other times it may not be. Some students have a strong sense of the way Hamlet, in their opinion, would have behav ed in the situation.Students can also learn something from students who have read an essay about Hamlet. Other students are able to make a few specific changes and can give their students the clue that what they are doing now will not be quite the same as what other students are doing.There is another advantage to reading other students' works. Many students are used to the conventions of the form.But students who are used to the different choices can be fun to read. The student may be surprised at how much there is to choose from when he or she gets to the essay.Finally, if the student has chosen to use a sample essay for his or her work, the student will have an excellent chance of catching things he or she missed in other students' work. Often, a student will have several times read a particular chapter, even several essays, and never noticed the changes. Reading a sample in advance can help the student to spot differences that might have escaped him or her.This is a good time to get the student writing his or her essay by using the sample that is appropriate for that essay. If the student is interested in seeing other kinds of essays, he or she will have no trouble getting one for his or her work.
