It is widely known that high school teachers and college professors frequently do not assign the exact essay topic leaving it to students to choose. At first it seems to be a much easier option but then the student starts to realize that selecting a good angle to write on an extensive subject is actually a tough task,Choosing the topic right Articles and the success of the essay depends on the correct choice of topic.  

First of all it is necessary to pay attention to the scope of the topic. It shouldn’t be so specific that you have almost nothing to say in the assigned number of pages; on the other hand, it shouldn’t be so broad that the essay looks like a bunch of jumbled facts.

You are to be aware that an essay is a creative assignment, so the topic you choose needs to open up a new and relatively unstudied aspect. If the topic is well researched, a careful systematization and detailed analysis is always highly graded. 

Finally, you are supposed to provide your own view on the subject, not just mere paraphrasing of words other people said. However, you will be able to gain deep understanding on the topic allowing you to make your own original statements only by thorough acquaintance with it, so be sure to read a sufficient volume of literature. It should not be limited to your bibliography list, either. All in all, you should read as much as you can in various subjects so that you not only digest information but are also able to make connections among different subjects and field of knowledge.  

Good luck to you in choosing an essay topic as a good beginning makes a good ending.
