<p>I'm having tremendous difficulty writing my college essay...I'm trying to convey my personality and how I think in a rather simple story.</p>
<p>Yet, in my essay, the story is told as if it were being described as a graphic novel. I guess I'm trying to be creative, but I don't know if I have a balance...</p>
<p>Um...can you rephrase your question? What exactly are you asking?</p>
<p>Uh, yeah, sorry, my question was kinda vague...</p>
<p>Basically, how important is structure in an essay? Yes, I know any essay needs structure, but does a college essay need to follow the typical introduction, body, conclusion? Or does it have to be written in the first person??</p>
<p>For example, I've heard of college essays that have been written as one-act play scripts. Can one be as creative as this in an essay???</p>
<p>Gah, sorry if I'm sounding vague...</p>
<p>You don't need the typical introduction, body, and conclusion, and it doesn't have to be written in the first person. </p>
<p>As to writing an essay in a different format, that's more of a risk. You can do it, and they may like it, but there's no guarantees.</p>
