When do we learn to twist ideas into essays?

Not much to say on most Sundays. William was studying. He focused some time on preparing for English and we talked about essay writing and how to take seemingly random pieces of evidence and contextualize them so that they support your central thesis in some way. It took me until I was twenty five to really get the hang of this, so it seems like a lot to try to teach him to do. However, no one challenged me to really try when I was younger, so maybe he'll start to get it.
