Picking From the Red Box: Metaphor for Good Writing

rbxThe process of good and proper essay writing is like picking out a good movie out of the Red Box.  In order for one to choose a good movie, one must first have slight knowledge of the movie beforehand. In order to judge whether or not the movie will be entertaining and worthwhile, one must understand the basic plot, setting, and genre of the movie. Similarly, when it comes to writing, one must have knowledge of his or her topic prior to writing about it. The author must research his or her topic in order to be able to ensure the writing is coherent, intelligent, and relevant.

faceFurthermore, when deciding on a movie, one must take into consideration his or her personality and preferences. To properly enjoy a movie, one must ensure that the movie’s topics and themes coincide with one’s opinions and preferences. This intersects with good essay writing, because in order to truly write a good paper, one must be genuinely interested in the topic he or she is writing about. If the author finds the topic uninteresting or boring, then the writing will end up apathetic and boring as well.

focusLastly, the most important part of enjoying a good movie is focusing and paying attention to the screen while the movie plays. Similarly, in writing, one must remain focused while writing. One should pay attention to the structure of each sentence and ensure everything blends together well. A focused writer will make certain every aspect of his or her paper is the best that it can be to ensure the maximum quality of writing.
