“Encountering the Essay” and “Essayists on the Essay.”

In my opinion what constitutes a good essay is most how it presents its content and whether or not it can keep the attention of the reader. A good essay should be descriptive, but not excessively wordy. It should also have a enough content for the reader to take something away after reading it, but it should not drown the reader in facts.
I think that areas in which my essay can improve upon are how to put new information out there for the reader while not boring them with too much technical jargon. I think my main goal should to impart some knowledge about the relationships within my community. I think that my intro could probably use some more improvement in the "hooking the reader" department.
