Introductions serve an important function. They “welcome” your reader into your essay by providing context,
stating your thesis, and setting the tone. They should also grab your reader’s interest. Strategies for attention-
grabbing hooks include starting with a quotation, a question, a surprising statement or fact, an imaginary situ-
ation or scenario, an anecdote, interesting background information, or a new twist on a familiar phrase.
