Writing is a process...continue with 'Introduction'

Think about posing a question as a hook. This is particularly effective if you are writing a persuasive essay. Draw the reader in with a question that is both relevant and provoking.

Continue explaining the hook, if necessary. Some types of hooks can't just be left there, or they'll wilt and die. Some hooks need explanation. Quotations and questions, especially, require explanation much of the time. How you explain the quote can affect how powerful your thesis is, and how much it makes sense.

Example:

Hook: "'Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.'

Explanation: "In his famous Stanford commencement address, Steve Jobs explained how death was an important motivator that kept him focused and helped him fearlessly innovate."
