There are two main types of synthesis essays. One is the explanatory synthesis essay and the other one is the argumentative synthesis essay. The main aim of explanatory synthesis essay, as its name obviously implies, is to explain a certain topic. On the other hand, an argumentative synthesis essay aims to have an argument about a specific topic and justify those arguments. Your goal in an explanatory synthesis essay, which is to convey information about a specific topic, is achieved when a synthesis essay writer helps a reader understand a topic using an orderly and clear writing fashion. An explanatory synthesis essay does not aim to argue for a specific point. Rather, it aims to present facts in an orderly and understandable manner. In writing an explanatory synthesis essay, a writer must divide the subject in its component parts accordingly. The introduction on what your topic is about is the first step. Make it clear from the beginning what you are writing about. An explanatory synthesis essay requires a lot of explanations and supporting details so that the reader will have a clear understanding of the topic. These explanations will occur in the body of the synthesis essay that is usually divided into subtopics in order to achieve organization and logical explanations of the topic. In explaining the topic, a description of what it is about or descriptions about an object, event, or place regarding the topic is needed. Personal experiences like interviews or actual participations that are connected to the topic could be useful as long as you can maintain an academic structure and voice throughout the essay. In the body of the essay, indicate your explanations about the topic using reliable sources. These sources are your greatest tool in presenting information to the reader. Also, remember that when presenting information, present it objectively and not subjectively. Your emotions, opinions, and advice about the subject are not needed in the essay. NO FIRST PERSON. NO SECOND PERSON. NO “people should …”. Use 3rd person only. In connection to this, at least two credible sources are needed. Your sources, or references, should be able to provide enough credible facts about your selected topic. An explanatory synthesis essay usually equips 2-4 sources to support their topic justifiably. In the conclusion, you must be able to illuminate the readers about your topic and not create controversies out of it. Your essay’s purpose is to make them understand the topic more, not to confuse them about it further. All in all, an explanatory synthesis essay holds its purpose to convey vivid information and facts about a specific topic to the reader. This kind of synthesis essay does not need the writer’s opinion about the topic he or she is writing about. Objective and clear writing should be maintained by the writer to avoid crossing the line.
