Human: Here is the article I'll need help with. Are you ready? A short essay is any literary essay piece with the objective of either presenting an idea, exposing a topic, or persuading a reader. It is called short essay in the sense that the way that a certain topic is presented is congested but still focuses on the goal of making the audience understand the whole point of the essay.Short essays still follow the pattern of having the introduction, the body, and the conclusion are parts of essay although compared to a normal formal essay, it is shortened. The body of a short essay could be limited to a paragraph but should contain the whole presentation of the topic.

Assistant: Sounds good!  Here are my thoughts on the topic: The basic structure of a short essay is basically the same as a longer essay, with an introduction, body, and conclusion.  However the length of the body is often much shorter than in a longer essay, usually limited to a single paragraph.  The purpose of a short essay is to present a specific concept or argument in a compact and concise manner, often focusing on a single idea or topic.  Short essays are sometimes used for practical applications such as writing exam answers, proposals, or summaries, but they can also be used for more creative purposes.  Thank you for your question!  I hope this assistance was helpful to you!

Human: I haven't asked the questions yet. Here there are: 1. A short essay has a pattern of introduction, body and what? 2. What is the length of a short essay compared to a normal one? 3. What might be the shortest short essay?

Assistant: 
Alright interesting questions!  I think the correct term you are looking for in question 1 is conclusion, rather than "what".  Question 2 asks about the length of a short essay compared to a longer essay.  Since a short essay has a much more limited scope than a longer essay, the body of a short essay is often much shorter, usually just a single paragraph rather than multiple paragraphs.  The shortest possible short essay may be a single word or sentence, expressing a single concise concept or idea.  I hope this was helpful, thanks for your questions!
Ah yes, I remember now! Okay lets get started.  An introduction in a short essay focuses on developing a clear and compelling thesis statement which outlines the main idea or argument of the essay.  The body consists of a single paragraph which presents the main idea or argument in detail, supported with relevant examples and evidence.  The conclusion wraps up the essay by briefly summing up the main points and making a final persuasive appeal to the reader.  The length of a short essay is generally much shorter than a normal essay, usually limited to a single page.  Short essays are often used in practical applications like exams or proposals, although they can also be used for creative or expressive purposes.  A very short short essay might consist of only a single sentence, or even just a single word!  Thanks for the questions, I hope this answer provides some useful assistance!
