The ESSAY is a form of writing that you will always employ.
Just like the formal themes (sulatin)
that you composed and revised in you English and Filipino class.
Your skills are needed especially when
you are asked to write essays as part of your exams. After graduation, you will need to write an admission essay as required by universities in selecting applicants. You will be asked to write more reviews, reaction papers, and research papers. When you’re applying for a job, some employees will make you write an employment essay about your experiences and qualifications. The word ESSAY was adapted from the French literary corpus when 16th century philosopher Michel de Montaigne describe his writings as “attempts”. Montaigne began composing his essays in 1572 and published his two-volume collection entitled Essais in 1580. From France, the essay form went to England through 16th century philosopher Francis Bacon’s Essayes. However, the French word originated from the Latin word exigere, which means to “drive out”. And before Montaigne developed the genre, Japanese literature already had zuihitsu. Mukaro no Soshi (“The Pillow Book”) by Sei Shonagon, court lady to Empress Consort Teishi, already had written a few of these “essays”. The court lady started writing her diary at the end of the 10th century. Meanwhile, our term sanaysay was coined by Modernist Filipino poet and critic Alejandro G. Abadilla in 1938. It is a portmanteau for a written account of someone who is “sanay sa pagsasalaysay” (skilled in narration). Reflect Upon How did you feel upon knowing that the essay stemmed not from Michel de Montaigne, a man, as it was often discussed in Literature class, but from a Japanese court lady? How did Alejandro G. Abadilla come up with the word sanaysay? Essays are divided into four most common forms (description, narration, expositon, and argumentation/ persuasion) based on their purpose (called rhetorical modes or modes of discourse). Read about the essay and its four forms on http://owl.English.purdue.edu/owl/resource/685/1/ (called genre on this site). Process Questions: 1. What are the guidelines for each form of essay (descriptive, narrative, expository, and argumentative/ persuasive)? Name at least one essay for each form. 2. Why does descriptive essay allow for great deal of artistic freedom? 3. Why is the first person pronoun I welcomed in a narrative essay? 4. How does the five-paragraph approach work argumentative and expository essays?
