in literature, what is the format of writing a essay to tell about something from an poem etc. ?

We Answered:

This is the format I use in essay writing: the hamburger. Here it goes:
You start off with the BREAD. It is your introduction. You first of all have a topic sentence, then you restate the question the teacher has asked you. Eg. In the award winning novel, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl, (restate question here) Also ALWAYS underline the title of the novel.
Next is the MEAT. It is your strongest paragraph. Each paragraph should argue ONE point only.
Next is the TOMATO this is you second strongest point.
Next is the LETTUCE this would be your third strongest point.
Next is the CHEESE this paragraph would argue the weakest point.
The conclusion is the other piece of BREAD. It is just re-stating the introductory paragraph without adding in any addition information you haven't talked about. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Im writing an essay on the Wall Street crash of 1929, and i was wondering what format could write it in.*?

We Answered:

write it like you are a banker at the time... the link below shows some narrative thatyou could use.

the 1920s, the United States seemed like a place of limitless possibilities. The economy was booming, and millions of Americans dreamed of getting rich in the stock market.

For these people, the center of the world was the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street in Hew York City. There, the stocks of America's major businesses were bought and sold, and the engine of the country's prosperity was fueled. Some people made fortunes by buying stocks at one price and selling at a higher one. Many others tried this strategy and failed. Behind the scenes, America's top bankers and corporations manipulated (controlled) the prices of stocks to make themselves richer.

All of this made stock prices spiral up and up. Inevitably, they came crashing down. The stock market crash of October 1929 had immense consequences for the country and the world.

SCENE 1

Narrator A: For many Americans in the late 1920s, following the stock market with their local broker is an obsession. In Kansas City, Missouri, for instance ...

K.C. Investor (rushing in breathlessly): I have 10 minutes for lunch. Quick, what is U.S. Steel trading for?

K.C. Broker (reading ticker tape): Let's see. Looks like it's up 12 points from yesterday.

K.C. Investor: I just made $7,000. But I should have bought those extra hundred shares when I had the chance.

Narrator A: Comedian Groucho Marx and his brothers have also caught the stock market fever. While on the road, at Boston's Copley Hotel ...

Groucho Marx: Quick, Harpo. The elevator man just told me some big shots in expensive suits were talking about buying United Corporation. We've got to get to a broker.

Harpo Marx: I'm still in my robe. Let me get dressed.

Groucho: Are you crazy? If we wait for you to get your clothes on, the stock might jump 10 points. Come on!

Narrator A: But other people are worried about the wild spending on stocks. At the White House ...

Herbert Hoover: It can't be good that so many people are borrowing so much money to buy stocks. What can happen to them?

Federal Reserve Governor: Usually, brokers charge a small margin for a stock, and loan the customer the rest. But if the stock goes down too far, the broker sells it to someone else. So the customer loses the stock, and still owes most of the money for it. People can have their savings wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Hoover: The public is mad with greed.

They think that they are rubbing an Aladdin's lamp. What will happen if the market goes down all at once?

Narrator A: The country is about to find out.
