Getting started

Being thrown into the middle of a story is always complicated. It makes it difficult to understand the story. Without the backround information, which is what the introduction truely is, the reader is lost trying to find out what the story is about. Introductions are needed to tell the reader what they are about to read, and a little background information on the subject.

Introductions should have a good opening sentence. Something that makes the reader want to read the paper, essay, or article. Following a good opening sentence, there should be a good explanation of what the paper is going to discuss. What is the point of writing the article? Now would be a good time for definition of the subject or main point of the story. Summarize what you are going to talk about. Tell what the paper is going to discuss and let it merge into the actual paper. The body of the paper should follow, with the conclusion wrapping up the paper.
