why essays are inefficient

essay will never make any sense to me. it is so much easier to explain things in person. for example, in my english class, i am writing a paper comparing dr jekyll and mr hyde to the threepenny opera. in my head it is so easy to explain why these books are similar, but when i start writing nothing makes sense anymore. i have been working on a paragraph for the past hour and it still sounds terrible. essays are a waste of time. i could get so much more done if i were to have an oral presentation for this class. screw you essays
