Extended definition essays are
essays that define the meaning of a word or term not just by its dictionary
meaning but also other possible meanings to describe the word. It’s an essay
that adds more to what we know about that term by connecting it to our lives
today. In this way, the writer could help the readers understand other meanings
of that term
The essay “Bayanihan: The Immortal
Filipino Hero” was well written. The writer observed proper in-text citation
and he was able to define the word Bayanihan not only through its actual
meaning but also through an example. He presented several examples which were
able to show us how we can apply “bayanihan”, thus being able to show this
abstract idea. In his conclusion he has accomplished a connection with the
readers by encouraging them to apply bayanihan in their lives. He has helped us
obtain a deeper meaning of bayanihan and made us realize that we have bayanihan
in our hearts. He showed this by his example on sports.
Although his essay was good, but
because the hook was not strong enough to catch the attention of the readers
which can make them lose interest of the text.
Writing essays is not as easy as others
might think. You have to capture your readers and be able to convey your
message to them. In writing extended definition essays, not only are you
defining a term but also give new light so that other people will have a
different perspective of that term. It is so that other people will understand
it better and it won’t turn into a misconception.
