In this question, you have not included information about which essay you are referring to. Therefore, this part of the question cannot be answered. However, we can still look at <em>i</em><em>n medias res</em> in general and at the advantages and disadvantages of structuring an essay in this way.

<em>In medias res</em> refers to a type of structure in which a text begins at a moment of intense action. An advantage of this strategy is that it immediately captures the attention of the reader, as the scene is likely to be an extremely exciting one. Another advantage is that such an opening allows the author to move forward into the future faster than would be the case if he started the story from the beginning.

However, the structure also has potential disadvantages. For example, this structure can be problematic if the conflict is unclear, or if the characters are completely unknown. This can push the reader away as opposed to pulling him in. Another disadvantage is that it forces the author to supply the necessary information about the past through flashbacks and other complex devices. Finally, it can make the timeline of a story difficult to follow.

Don't Be Afraid of Losing Your Friends and Followers. Be Afraid of Losing Yourself to the World, Because you Settled for the Opi
kirill115 [55]

What I think the beautiful meaning behind this is...

Losing friends or followers can happen in life, friends come and go, and sometimes you don't need friends to be happy.  But if you follow other people and believe their lies and stick to their opinion even though you might not agree with their opinion, you are under their control.  Not only you are under their control, but you pretend to be something else by agreeing to these opinions and pretending you agree. Never always follow other people, you don't need to be the follower.  Be the leader of your own tribe.  

            <em>Hope this helps & hope this is an important message! </em>
