AHHH! Vigorously I sweated over starting my essay. Should I start with a question or and aggressive attention getter? This indecisiveness plagued my mind on how to start the introductory sentence. Has this scene ever happened to you? I can personally say this is always a reoccurring barrier when I try to write a paper. The reason it is so hard is because you want to lead your reader through your paper smoothly. You do not want to lead them astray on what the subject is, or have them completely lose interest. By starting of with a fast past writing you can entice your reader to want more, or take interest in what you are trying to say. Like the essay about Women in science, the author asked a question to perk the reader's interest. I also did this with the question I stated at the beginning of the paragraph. There are many ways to try to get interest but the best way is your title or a topic sentence.
Titles allow the reader to understand what they are about to read. Also, titles can be used to grab a target audience's attention. This also can be said about topic sentences in paragraphs. They need to be creative and grab the readers attention while providing a reader the guide to read your paper. Allowing the reader the ease in which to read will insure they will read the text. Even though you as an author go through pain to create a great paragraph for your reader, it is worth it. Nobody wants to read a boring paragraph or essay, so grab your readers attention.
