What is Definition?

 

Ironically, the definition of the term “definition essay” is not very specific.  Definition essays are short pieces of writing on a particular topic.  However, not every essay on a topic can be properly labeled a definition essay.  Instead, a definition essay is an attempt to describe the topic thoroughly enough for the reader to understand it very well and might be compared to an encyclopedia entry for the topic.  Any of our example essays could provide a good start on a definition essay about the topic.  However, we have collected a sample of our best definition essays and included them below to help you explore the genre.

Twentieth century British literature
The 1950's saw the collapse of the British Empire, an empire on which it was said the sun never set. However, in 1958, the year in which Kazuo Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day begins, the sun was definitely setting on the British Empire. The novel tells the story of the butler of a great house who dedicated his entire existence to serving his master, without thought to his personal feelings. Many see similarities in the life of the butler and that of the British Empire; with the butler representing the society upon which the British Empire had been built. In effect, the novel is a metaphor for the collapse of the British Empire.
