Writing an essay but I'm just not sure how to start it. Any ideas? Prompt is below

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Based on your research, identify and analyze a human rights issue in your novel and show how it relates to real-life issues and affects people within the United States and one other country. My book was \(\it Of~Mice~and~Men\) and I chose racism as the human rights issue

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first start beginning then start middle para then end your essay

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

oh :( probably not

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

@sammixboo can you help me again? \(\Huge\frak\color{magenta}{Please!!!!!!}\)

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

i think the only reason for reading the book was to get the human rights issue

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

do you want to see 2 of the sources im using? would that help?

OpenStudy (haleyelizabeth2017):

I have no idea....:/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Well you can start off your Intro by asking a question. That always catches the reader's attention.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this your question sleepyjess ?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Here is an example of an intro I wrote a looong time ago starting with a sentence. You would expect a camping trip to be a trip of laughter, s'mores, family bonding time, and adventure, right? Well I thought wrong. My camping trip took the other road with bears, screams, and terror. Not so fun, at all. Here's my story.

sammixboo (sammixboo):

It isn't a very strong intro, but I just wanted to give you an example

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on @sleepyjess i have some notes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SneliS i need your help when you get the chance

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so @sleepyjess u need help wit the introduction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is something to help you: Begin with an attention grabber. The attention grabber you use is up to you, but here are some ideas: ... If the attention grabber was only a sentence or two, add one or two more sentences that will lead the reader from your opening to your thesis statement. Finish the paragraph with your thesis statement.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) hope it helps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I still need help please
