<p>The question that I am answering is: Leadership is a constant theme and emphasis at CMC. In fact, one of the ways we describe CMC students is "Leaders in the Making." Choose someone, fictional or nonfictional, historical or contemporary, whom you consider to be a leader. Suppose you are this person's primary advisor. How would you advise this person and why?</p>
<p>I decided to pretend that I was Beowulf's advisor. I wrote this in story format, rather than the typical analytical, five paragraph essay format. I think it is a fun, quick essay to read, and I would truly appreciate any readers.</p>
<p>What is the “standard analytical five paragraph format” ? That sounds like something from middle school. Make sure you avoid using something like that in your essay. You should have solid segmentation in your ideas but chasing those structures only leads to trouble.</p>
<p>Hopefully the OP did learn this format in middle school, as it is the standard analytical approach favored by most academics especially in college. The format consists of an introductory paragraph, followed by 3 paragraphs of supporting arguments, followed by a concluding paragraph summarizing the position. Avoiding the structure is far more likely to result in a haphazard presentation. Fiction writing follows a similar convention with an introduction, conflict, climax, resolution and conclusion format.</p>
