<p>Is this generally a bad thing to do, or do you think it can help an essay?</p>
<p>By this I mean saying "you", bringing the reader into an essay. I feel like it could either be good or really bad...</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>I did it once, and I currently go to that school. I have no idea whether it's good or not, but I implemented it pretty well and it didn't sound awkward or forced, which is crucial.</p>
