What is a Hindsight Essay?
The hindsight essay asks a writer to focus on chronological cause and effect. The
two parts of the essay are connected to each other in time. It’s like one thing
happened in the past and you are really bearing the result of it or you are taking a
particular decision right now and what you perceive would be the impact of it on
your life.
In this essay, the focus is on the analysis and description of how the past influences
the present- in negative or positive ways. It asks a writer to make explicit
connections between the concrete and the abstract.
SEED SENTENCES
Either of the structures could
be used:
2) “Because of _______, I
[understand/recognize/believe etc.] ________.”
Points to be noted:
• Both parts of the essay do not require narrative
balance.
