“What Should I Do With My Life?”

My essay on the Po Bronson article is important to me. It’s made me stop and think about what I’m doing with my life and what I want to give my family members and friends. I comprehend how significant an introduction to a paper is. This week, I want to make a great introduction! I will start my paper by telling stories about my three best qualities that I have to offer my family members and friends, which are being patient with them all, working and helping them fix things around the house, and the last would be my work ethic that while helping everybody I’m still able to do my school work, and keep my grades up. I think that no matter what

I mean don’t get me wrong, sometimes I can’t help who I fall in love with too, but usually that other person gives off signs of how crazy they could act if things took a turn for the worst. I do enjoy helping my family around the house such as taking out the trash, washing their cars, and cutting their yards, like my grandmother for instance, even if she could go out there and cut the grass herself, I would still do it all for her because I love her, for the simple fact if it wasn’t for her I would not be in this world today. Another one of my best qualities are to help my friends with anything from moving from home to home, or babysitting for them when they can’t find someone to help out, I’m feeling sometimes they deserved a night out on the town, and since I’m not working and just going to school, I have plenty of time to help out with anything they need when I can help, and the best ways I love helping my friends is by lending a hand with their businesses, and not letting them charge me anything, so they can continue to …show more content…
I think the one thing I hate the most is having to say no when someone is in need of my help, and they understand why I have to say no in the first place, I think it’s the fact that they need me for something and they can’t except no for an answer. I think now that I’m older I don’t take it that hard anymore, and do what I can when I’m able to help

    An effective introduction should point out what information will be covered in the essay and in what order. Your introduction is your first (and maybe the last) chance to lure your reader into the following portions of the essay. It is the time to engage your reader and spark their interest. You can do this several ways such as; using shocking statistics, asking thought provoking questions, or using a personal anecdote by explaining your experience with the subject. By sparking their interest, you stand a better chance of keeping the reader’s attention for the rest of your hard work. Think of the introduction like the opening act of a popular band or singer. The opening band is put in place, not to steal the show, but whet the appetite of the crowd, get them dancing and preparing them for the headliner. The introduction needs to fit with the essay. You do not want Pink to open for Taylor Swift. It just does not fit. When developing the introduction, it is the time to set the tone for the essay. Are you going to be facetious, funny, straight forward, business like, etc.?…

    The introduction explains that all personal (informal) essays are united because even though they are personal and original to the author, the author always makes his/her story relatable to mankind.

    Method: We have discussed a personal essay by Russell Baker, an excerpt from his memoirs, Growing Up. This gives us significant insight into the author's persona. Similarly, the essay you are about to write should not simply recall events, but demonstrate your voice and reflect your persona through the presentation of a single pivotal event in your life. Your paper should have a point (similar to a thesis statement), and readers should "get to know you" by reading your essay.…

    Introductions and conclusions play a special role in the academic essay, and they frequently demand much of your attention as a writer. A good introduction should identify your topic, provide essential context, and indicate your particular focus in the essay. It also needs to engage your readers' interest. A strong conclusion will provide a sense of closure to the essay while again placing your concepts in a somewhat wider context. It will also, in some instances, add a stimulus to further thought. Since no two essays are the same, no single formula will automatically generate an introduction and conclusion for you. But the following guidelines will help you to construct a suitable beginning and end for your essay.…
