I’m trying to understand them a bit better, but it’s just not clicking for me. How is it able to operate like a physical computer and what is the benefit of that? Would you be able to say write an essay for your English class on a VM, save it there, and access it at a later time?

Your physical computer sends instructions to a processor, memory, and storage devices to do the things that you expect it to do. A virtual computer is just another layer of software that pretends to be the same components in your physical computer such that you can install an operating system on it. So yes, you could install Windows, Office, write an essay, and email it to yourself.
