Beginnings and Endings

I could relate to the very beginning of this section on writing beginnings and endings. It talks about how your introduction needs to grab the attention of the reader. In my conference today we agreed this is what my paper is lacking. I liked how in the example he uses questions in his introduction it makes the reader want to find the answers to these questions. I also liked the part about connecting your subject to your readers' interests or values. This is a for sure way to get the reader interested that I have never really thought about doing.

The part on endings was interesting to me because I really only knew of one or two ways to end a paper. I thought the part about ending with an anecdote was a pretty cool way to end a paper. Proposing an action is cool too especially when used in the right context like the example about drinking.
