Superstar Introductions

After close reading the Capote passage, your mission, which you have chosen to accept as there is no other option, is to construct an original, engaging, superstar introduction for the prompt. Whether it be analogy, imagery, setting, background, or some other technique, consider what would encourage your audience to read more. In addition, do not forget the three elements necessary in the introduction to garner a 5: the author and title, the purpose, and the rhetorical strategies. Your thesis is just as important as your hook in composing a well-constructed introduction.

Then, you will compose one body paragraph -- pick one of the strategies -- to convey your paragraph organization, voice, and evidence usage. And -- thank you to Emma for pointing this out -- there are no line numbers in your given passage. Therefore, for this prompt only, you may forgo using citations or you can use paragraph numbers in parenthetical citations such as (paragraph 3). Overall, I want to see that your organization, diction, and transitions are improving from the Banneker prompt.
