There are many things that go into writing an essay.  There is a sort of methodology in the writing process.  For example, it all starts out with brainstorming ideas or ideas that are based off of a specific thesis.  It is also important to use rhetorical tools to reach your desired audience.  There are many kinds of tools to use, it is just whichever fits better with the topic.  Research also helps with writing an essay.  Research just brings the essay together and is more informative.  Another thing that is important in writing an essay is writing drafts.  There should be at least two drafts that are written.  The more the merrier.  Those drafts should be edited by peers as they have a different view on grammar and stuff than the writer does.  After all those things, it is important to just write the essay as it should be written.  For example, introduction, body, and conclusion.
