Question

Any tips for writing a hook for my essay on the history of literature?

Answer 1

A hook or a book? Also, good tips would be to make use of multiple words, don't use the same word over and over again. And make sure you get facts right, don't want to say something happened in a certain time, and the time you said it happened in isn't correct. Check multiple websites for information. And don't forget to site your sources!

Answer 2

Try a quotation like this one to get you started: http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/history-literature

Start in a general way, talking about the quotation in some way that moves it to your own thesis statement about the topic. The thesis statement is What you believe + why you believe it.

The quotation on the site above is relevant and can lead to the rest of your intro.

Answer 3

Explore the quotation in the hook, and let it guide your writing. You can even revisit it in the conclusion to signify to your reader that you have come "full circle," and you are ending.
