Does the title of an essay have to be a question which itself is answer?

No, the title of an essay does not have to be a question that is answered within the essay.

Here's why:

* Variety is key: Essay titles can be a variety of things, including:

* Declarative statements: "The Importance of Education"

* Provocative phrases: "Unleashing the Power of Creativity"

* Quotes: "To be or not to be..."

* Metaphors: "The Walls of Our Minds"

* Intriguing questions: "Is Technology Making Us Less Human?"

* Focus on the audience: The best title depends on the essay's content and target audience.

* Clear and concise: Regardless of style, the title should be clear, concise, and accurately reflect the essay's content.

A question-based title can work well if:

* It effectively captures the essay's main argument.

* It sparks curiosity and encourages the reader to delve into the topic.

However, it's not a requirement.

Think about the following:

* Your main argument: What's the core message of your essay?

* Your audience: Who are you writing for and what would resonate with them?

* The overall tone: Is your essay formal, informal, humorous, serious?

By considering these factors, you can choose the best title for your essay.
