Type B - short essayHelp shape the composition essays using it to appeal to those

who have a particular interest in the discipline covered (artistic-literary,

socio-economic, etc.). And already has some knowledge. As I was drafting an essay

should then use a linguistic register and style more formal and elevated, by

"scholar" of matter that is aimed at an audience of scholars. Short essay, we start

to compose, however, must start from the documents that are attached. After

setting out the contents of the documents we will start the stage of argument

itself. To compose the essay should therefore: - to analyze carefully the contents

of documents and cards that are offered - present clearly and well structured

data that emerge from the documents - submitting his thesis on the subject, bringing

out with argumentsclear his point of view - to support his argument with

examples and quotations,reported by both documents is their own knowledge. It should

also keep in mind:- the importance of drawing a top lineup to structure

content to be displayed,and make a guide to follow the thread without unnecessary

disturbances - the importance of the arguments divide into paragraphs, to make more orderly the wholeshow. A stylistic level, as already mentioned, you should use

a fairly high technical vocabulary, syntactic development in a sustained, with

subordinate clauses, rhetorical figures that make it more expressive and

captivating speech. Important coherence and cohesion within each paragraph and the text is generally meetthe criteria of coherence and cohesion. The cohesion of a text is determined by

correct use of language, and in particular: - the correlation, which affects the

kind and number of nouns, adjectives, pronouns, articles, etc.., Concerning the

Agreement between subject and predicate, as well as the choice of how and when

- the use of pronouns or paraphrases or synonyms to avoid repetition of words or

phrases - the correct use of connectives, ie the elements that connect the vari

ous parts of speech, especially conjunctions ( Since, therefore, but while ...),

adverbs and adverbial phrases (before, after, at first ...) - the use of specif

ic rather than generic words, elimination of unnecessary words and concepts. Imp

ortant is to treat the subject, thinking to explain something to a hypothetical

reader should be clear and explicit in our thoughts, our opinions. The coherence

of a text is the presentation of arguments in a logical and consequential: the

paragraphs should follow an order that may be cause-effect or chronological: the

ladder is crucial.

If the ladder is well structured and points out the arguments, we must follow ca refully to avoid "jumping to a

tangent." Furthermore, the cohesion of the text i s already a requirement to produce a text which is also consistent. To recap: ti ps for writing the essay - Analyze the delivery and

pick and choose the material to be used. - Track every document in the fundamental concepts that are expande

d with knowledge of study and / or personal, more relevant to the thesis proposa l. - Hang up the ladder. - Use a clear and precise style, not expressive or too personal. - Developing the argument in a logical and concise. - Divide the text into paragraphs. - Delete all the repetition, unnecessary adjectives, informatio n not essential. - Respect the fixed length. EXAMPLE Charles Salinari The superm an of D'Annunzio The text is much longer than is required for this type of test, it is comprehensive in all its parts that could be synthesized. "The superman D

'Annunzio, therefore, his first appearance, has some features that could be summ arized as follows: the cult of the

dominant energy is manifesting itself as a fo rce (and violence) or as the capacity of enjoyment or as a beauty,

searching for his own historical tradition in culture pagan, greek-roman, and in the Renaissa nce conception of

aristocratic contempt for the world and consequent mass of the people and the parliamentary system is founded on it;

idea of a mission of power and grandeur of the Italian nation to be achieved mainly through military glor y; totally negative opinion on Italy post-unitary and the need for new energy ra ises the mud; naturalistic concept, based on blood and race and other physical e lements, is the nation that the superman is intended to embody and to lead it. m ust realize that this superman has not had much luck with the critics.€It is tr ue that it has served as a pretext for patriotic exercises laudatory and critica l of much of hagiography and D'Annunzio, especially in the fascist period, but i

t is also true that - as if to contrast - at that time was discovered a new prof ile of the poet Abruzzo less heroic and solar, more intimate and discreet, and m agical night short congenial to the taste of our experience and recent literatur e. It is no less true that the classic critique of D'Annunzio [...] did not hesi tate to do summary justice of the superman and his heroic moral cumbersome. Howe ver, what astonishes is not the aesthetic judgments of value, works inspired bya similar design (totally negative review, without appeal), but the fact that th e Superman may have been considered a sort of fancy literary overlap outside of intellectual abstraction of a D'Annunzio, who would not have resigned to be a po et who only expresses "the deepest language of the physical world." [...] On the contrary, today, the critic who is preparing a historical and scientific work v antazione Annunzio, far from getting rid of the superman like an intruder, is br ought to a close look at the elements that compose it, to become

account their real capacity in the personality of D'Annunzio. And it is forewarn ed by the fact that the writer Abruzzo openly considered this period as the culm ination of his

development and his previous experiments (Claudio Cantelmo1 arise s precisely as we have seen, by passing "the necessary

first tumult of youth '), that the period does not end superomistico fast as other moments but embraces t he entire production of our back (including night), which belong to this

period, alongside operedefinitivamente convicted of some works which is critical, agree

d and scope to save, even admiring, the superman is not born alone but within a movement that includes the two most important magazines of the last years of the century, the "banquet" of Rome and "The Marzocco of Florence (in the period whi ch was directed by Angiolo Orvieto, of course), it is obviously profound spiritu al guidance to the Italian public's time and not randomly located in a time of a cute crisis of Italian society at the end of the dictatorship crispina2 and on t he eve of defeat of Adua3. Of the various elements that form the superman that i s precisely what most strikes the historian of today, the adhesion of positions D'Annunzio came to attitudes that were developing in some groups of leaders and intellectuals in the decades after all ' Unification of Italy. [...] It is there fore in the development of the Italian situation in that part of the public mind that it was opposed and it was fed, is in the interweaving of the feelings of g enerations back to the unity of Italy, corruption operatasi with the events of o ur history and European of the great myths of the Risorgimento that we now recog nize without effort, one component of those reasons that underlie the superman D'Annunzio: the power, war, glory, contempt for the populace,

the design aristocr atic world, the idea of Rome and the mission of Italy, the cult of beauty. [...] Those myths

D'Annunzio, then - should now be clear - not only individual source

, psychological or even sexual, as evidenced by some critics to believe: they ap pear to us the fruits of development and historical experience a generation (or groups of intellectuals in post-generation unit). "Charles Salinari, Myths and a wareness of the Decadent Italian, Feltrinelli, Milan â ¢ Claudio Cantelmo: the pro tagonist of the novel by D'Annunzio, The Virgin of the Rocks (1895), Salinari al ways defined by how the "political manifesto of Superman." dictatorship â ¢ Crispi Francesco Crispi became prime minister in 1887, began a political reactionary and authoritarian. â ¢ defeat of Adua: in 1896, in the war of conquest of Ethiopia, Italy suffered a final defeat at Adowa. Salinari Charles's essay is structured

in exemplary fashion: â ¢ begins with the presentation of the characteristics of s uperman D'Annunzio, explaining that 's argument that is treated, â ¢ then presents the' antithesis, namely D'Annunzio opinions of other critics, who dismissed the works superomistiche making "summary justice";

⠢ presents the argument (introduced by means connecting the contrary), that a ne w interpretation of the theories superomistiche D'Annunzio, "Far from getting rid of Superman," the review contestaulizzandolo political-ideological climate inthe late nineteenth century;€⠢ presents the arguments for the thesis, using the

cs to believe: they appear to us the fruit development and historical experience of a generation (or groups of intellectuals in post-generation unit). Now, for practice, the text identifies each of the parts where we have divided the essay and then by the essay a title that demonstrates the thesis that the critic wants to support.

Newspaper articleIn order to draft an article must first consider the recipient

of the article, and type of newspaper in which you want to publish. This fact

determines the choice between an article and cut very popular type of journalism,

and an article ofa more specialized, with cutting essay (this second type of

article then approaches more to the form of short essay) Below we give the

indications for a type of article with cutting journalism, pointing to a non-expert

audience. The article can be chosen by the student who has a good dose of

imagination. The argumentof the examination may not in fact cover the news, but his

treatment in the formof newspaper article makes sense if it is present: updated

means creating a link between the topics and the surrounding reality. This

connection can be formedfor example from an imaginary event, an exhibition, a

discovery, the publicationof a book, the release of a movie, or a journey (in this

case, write a report),from an imaginary interview a hypothetical witness ...

that's why you can use to your imaginative skills. Articles may be mainly of two types

of news or background. The news articles inform about an event, according to

the structure of theAnglo-Saxon journalism, articulated in the scheme of 5W +1 H:

that is, the itemmust answer the following questions: Who: Who? What what?

When: when? Where: where? Why Why? How: how? The editorials express an opinion on

the facts, commenton them, show reviews, arguments.

The style used to write an article should be simple, understandable, objective, timely, engaging, lively. Accepts

passages in direct speech, nominal sentences ( ie without the verb), ironic tone and "funny". Utilized most of the times to the present and recent past. The emphasis is not suitable

for an article, but if you write an opinion article, you can make use of figures of

speech, similes, adje ctives, choice of words that connote your position on the topic you're dealing w ith. The title must be in effect, with little punctuation. Normally, in a

newspa per, is accompanied by two other informative sidebars: the loop and the subtitle places respectively above and

below. These two short sentences, more articulate than the title, which contain other information about the piece. An

example Gio rgio Bocca "Evil is among us and goes to the stage" Below is an article by a wel l known journalist and

commentator, Giorgio Bocca, a topical rather debated whic h violence and racism in stadiums; in particular the journalist

refers to the us e of Nazi symbols and the reference to gas chambers by some football fans. The a rticle clearly of

opinion, is published weekly on the insert of the "Republic": "Good Friday" on 17 February 2006. "Those who doubted that Evil exists, that the devil is in the hearts of men, think of the

Nazi demonstration at the Olympic S tadium in Rome. Absurd but wicked, wicked but unreasonable, but possible brutal, just as

bad that devastates man, but from which man can not be separated. What was reasonable, acceptable, in the current

manifestation of historically Roman? None. There was a sample of Salo and evidence outside of any revisited time. Wha t's

the nostalgia for the fighters Decima Mas Prince Borghese when everyone know s the history knows that it came down to a

company of mercenaries under the comm and of SS General Karl Wolff€that he did not trust the war "big" against the Al lies

and used to terrorize the rear undermined by partisans? What sense does it propose to the new generations one of his most

humiliating Italian military hist ory? What sense does it display the banners of the crosses and Celtic runes Euro

peanism Nazi when it was buried by Europe of nations and when you know its apoca lyptic death around the rubble of Hitler's stationery? And especially what is th is demonic perversion of recalling the final solution of the gas chambers to a s imple clash of football fans? But the final solution was not

only the crime of c rimes, with six million dead, but the damnation of a generation, obedience to th e devil of an

entire people. Then he chose a bad painter paranoid to make the wo

rld go mad, to provoke a horrific massacre. But the march of evil then was not v ery different from the fascists of our stupid event at the Olympic Stadium. It w as possible to stop a

minimum of will and reason, as it was possible to prevent the March on Rome Fasc ist Badoglio if the king had granted two battalions to disperse. This is the man ifestation of the fascists we fear. Evil is always between us and the bad often can not resist. The bourgeoisie was selfish and cowardly to open the doors of th e State under strong. But now is not better then, where are the strong men ready to defend freedom, where are the honest? Terrible this expectation of a new fol ly that can happen. "From" Friday "of the" Republic ", 17/02/2006 HELP! It gives a firm and strong condemnation of a news now rather than the applicant: the all usions racist (often linked to violent actions) used by football fans. This is a n opinion article, full of historical references, which condemns some episodes t hat took place at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome as unacceptable manifestations of barbarism: the indignation of the journalist is clear in no uncertain terms and is expressed in strong language, making use of personification of evil (in fact written with a capital), to words such as evil, perversion, madness, negative co nnotations to adjectives such as absurd, evil, irrational, vicious, inhuman, dem onic, ... stupid, rhetorical questions that arise obsessively to the problem of meaning (and therefore show no sense) to refer to one of his most terrible and i nhuman and violent in our history. The title sums up perfectly the sense of what the reporter wants communicate, Evil is among us and goes to the stage: in fact, according to Giorgio Bocca, this terrible event is to show that "Evil is alway s among us." track on the article by Giorgio Bocca test now to write your own op inion article on the same topic or on a topic that highlights the negative aspec ts of behavior such as, for example, violence in school violence-metro-public mo ney in disarray, the reality-TV: positive aspects and negative.
