Woven Traditions
Posted on Thursday, November 11th, 2010 at 7:40 amHow do I write a good hook for my introductory paragraph?
I'm writing an essay on the similarities between the cultural traditions from a fictional book and real life. My fictional book is Anahita's Woven Riddle, which takes place in Iran. I've written my whole essay except for the introduction and the conclusion.
My body paragraphs are about:
Nowruz (New Year) Traditions
Ramadan Traditions
Carpet-Weaving Traditions
Wedding Traditions
I came up with this opening sentence: "The world of fiction and reality collide in Anahita's Woven Riddle, a charming novel full of cultural traditions of historic Iran."
But I really don't like it and would appreciate tips on how to write a better hook. Don't give me links to websites, please.
Thanks!
you could write from different peoples opinons on what they like about that tradition
ie. i like ramadan because it feels good feeling how people that dont have food feel
