The One and only Essay
The one and only essay, bane of students one and all. 
Anyways, do you or do you not like writing essays for school?
I'm sure a majority will say yes, and sad to say, I'm going to conform and say I absolutely hate writing them, although they are absolutely necessary for academic future.
The only essays I actually ever love to write are history essays, because as you may or may not know, I am a history fanatic.

Depends what the subject is.... I don't like writing English essays. "Blah blah explain the hardships of each story and explain how racism affected each character." Ughhh, I don't care!!!!!

LOL, I hate English essays, especially if it's about books and themes and character analyses and whatnot. 
They take up way too much time and chances are, we'd forget what they're all about anyway.

Especially when you do a book that you were forced to read that was terrible. *Ahem* The play: "A Raisin in the Sun"....ughh!!! I hated reading it! Blah blah "go deeper in the plot analysis, what is the symbolism of this character and this item he/she has means?"

Really? I quite liked that play, wasn't too short nor was it too long.
But anyways, yeah, character analyses are the worst, especially if the teacher pushes you to dissect every single aspect of it. Ugh.
Or if you actually have to go online to figure some things out. Ugh.

I love writing. So pretty much I'm happy to be writing, regardless of whatever the subject is. I'm not a terrific writer... but I'm definitely not the worst either. Even so, there's nothing I enjoy more than sitting somewhere comfortable and scribbling notes, even if it is for a class.

I love writting, I can write from six to almost twenty pages long essays without caring or running out of ideas. The ones I love the most are writing about social problems such as war, maltreatment or social issues such as new laws and such.
In general, I love essays that allow the writer to expose his/her own point of view and I hate writing about character analysis since they limit the way I can freely express because they force me to talk only about the character.

Yes and No...
I don't mind writing an essay if it's on a subject that know well.
However, I fully agree with Mystrila. I couldn't stand having to write an essay for English Lit.. What was the symbolism of this? or I want an in-depth five page analysis off one sentence made by a character in some book or play. (I had an evil English Lit professor).

I actually really enjoy English Lit. papers just as long as one standard is met: The book is as good as advertised. lol I don't mind looking deep between the written lines into the context hidden beneath... just as long as there's actually fucking hidden context somewhere in the book. A lot of times it will be things like "As Johnny walked Margret home from the winter church ball, he could not help but notice a star shaped tear of sadness form in her eyes." And then the hidden meaning is that she's really Jewish or something lame like that. There's very few books I've read that actually have real symbolism in them.
