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

Think about using an anecdote as a hook. If you are writing a less formal paper, consider beginning with a relevant, humorous, or moving story. This will provide context and allow the reader to get to know you, or the person or thing you're writing about, a little bit better. Note that in many cases it is not appropriate to use the first person in an essay, so double check before you the first person "I" in your hook.

Think about using a quotation as a hook. Finding a good quotation is also an appropriate way attract your reader, as it connects the essay both to a point in history and to something more universal. Be prepared to give an explanation of its relevance, not just fling it out there and hope that it fits.
