what should i do if i can't come up with a title for an essay? is it alright for it to be untitled?

Answer 1

No, you need to have a title.

Think of the main idea of the paper, the thesis, or even the attention-grabber you put in your intro. (You did put an attention-grabber in the intro, right?)

You should get some ideas from these thoughts.

Answer 2

Read through the essay again and look for anything that jumps out at you. Concentrate on making the title reflect your main topic. For a researched paper, the title is often a little more dry and formal. For an informal essay, however, you can jazz it up a little. Try to make the title sound like something that would inspire you to read the paper.
