In reality, essays do have their intricacies: they are not merely haphazardly piled-up words that can be labeled as "essays." An excellent essay possesses "vivid thoughts, unique interpretations, innovative expressions, and a highly personalized writing style." The essence of an essay cannot be fully understood merely from its surface text; it requires us to contemplate with our spirit and appreciate with our hearts. These two points will undoubtedly bring readers deeper insights and understandings as they enjoy the more than sixty excellent essays in the book.
