OK, so now you know how to hook your readers by using the different types of Great beginnings. Just remember the objective of your essay : WRITE A NARRATIVE.
Dont forget the humpty dumpty graph. You need to first give your introduction (which I believe will turn out fantastic!) and then you need to provide a sequence of events. Something must happen in order for something else to take place. In order for complications to take place, making way for climax and of course, resolution!
Pls pls pls dont forget. And no short form, pls. it can only be used in dialogues okay. Be careful of putting redundant punctuation i.e commas before 'and'. Do not start with 'because', 'and' etc. Watch out for your tenses. If its a reflection, surely it must have taken place so it must be in the past tense. OK people????
Last but not least, incorporate your descriptive skills to make it a vivid and exciting narrative. Just dont forget your plot!
Oh yes, and dont kill yourself or the author/narrator at the end. :))
