Features: We categorize "New New Essays" into four major types: New Discourse Essays, Personalized Essays, Anti-Formula Essays, and Creative Essays. We advocate for essays that break new ground but oppose language deliberately designed to confuse readers. We advocate for depth in writing but oppose essays that feign profundity. We advocate for individuality in essays but oppose sensationalism. We advocate for students' essays to express personal feelings but oppose contrived emotional expression. We advocate for middle school essays to return to their essence but oppose essays that are incoherent or nonsensical. We advocate that only essays grounded in genuine emotion are truly alive, but oppose the practice of neglecting classic literary works and arbitrarily devaluing their poetic beauty. We advocate for extensive reading and accumulation but oppose phenomena where students are solely focused on the internet, DVDs, or fashion trends, being dominated by fast-paced culture. We advocate for personalized writing that emphasizes personal experience but oppose tendencies that are overly self-centered, lack love for life, or fail to observe life.
