Description of Assignment:

A definition essay seeks to clarify or illuminate a certain word, idea, phrase or topic by exploring the different ways it is used and understood in society. In order to do this, the writer will rely on several different forms of writing; a definition paper could include examples, comparisons, descriptions, cause and effect, narrative and so on.

The thesis statement for this essay will be very straight forward, somehow explaining what the topic is and what can be gained from examining it more fully. After that, there are a number of techniques found on the back of this paper that can be used to achieve this goal. A definition thesis statement may look like this: “Many people who workout are looking for a program that will bring about fast weight loss results, but they have not considered plyometrics, a type of exercise designed to create fast, powerful movements.”
