<p>Hi
How would you typically write the essay, regular 5 paragraph (intro,3 body,1 conclusion) or many paragraphs, kinda like a story? I've seen more of the latter, so I'm not sure what is the best idea. I'm thinking of regular 5 paragraph because I have all of my ideas in place, but would that be interesting to the reader? o.O</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Up to you, really. If you want to do 5 paragraphs, do 5 paragraphs! I personally did multiple paragraphs because it suited my essay better and is a better representation of who I am. Do what feels right.</p>
