I don't recommend that you ask questions in your essays - even if you mean them rhetorically - but I just loved the way this student started his/her essay. So much so I am posting it here:
"Have you ever seen a sunflower heading towards the golden sun, full of respect and purity? That clear eye of the sunflower is above Nirvana, beyond Samsara, inscribing Dhammapada with fire. A great leader - leading his generation or the world - should contain the 'sunflower eye.'

This was my essay! I feel good to see this on Mr.Moon's face book! Next time, I mustn't ask question in my essay. But I still can't understand the exact reason why it isn't allowed.
Indeed. Your first Intro sentence really captured my fancy. You did a very good job! On the other hand (and in principle), you should *not* ask questions - even if rhetorically - but address them in plain statements! Why? Because by doing so you take direct responsibility for the view/opinion you are advancing. The same applies to the passive voice, btw! ^^
