how should I start my introduction topic essay for comparing two different stories?
550300
An essay should start with a broad general comment covering both stories. Once you decide what to write about, for example how the characters cope with both good and evil, then in the following paragraphs you make comments and observations, then back up your argument with proof in each story. The last paragraph should be a summary of your argument and should refer to your comments in the first paragraph.

A comparison essay wants you to discuss similarities among different things.  A compare and contrast essay wants you to discuss both the similarities and the differences.

Decide what your story is going to be about.  Choose a topic about which you know something.  Quite often, an event in your own life as c child can be used as the core basis of your story.  \n\nHow old will your readers be?  This will determine how large your vocabulary is. (If they are very young, important words should be repeated in the telling of your story.)\n\nChoose your characters.  Often one stands for good, and the other one creates problems.  \n\nWhat is the must exciting secion of your story?  Choose a clever title.  You must have colorful pictures. \n\nPicture yourself climbing a mountain.  Imagine what happens as you climb up the mountain.  When you get to the top of the mountain, you are at the most exciting point.  What do you see and feel as you come down the mountain?  Your last paragraph should sum up the story and give the reader "good all over feelin".   You write your story with your points or examples in the story in the same order as if you were climbing the mountain.

Do you know what your essay will be about?  It is tough to give you a topic sentence without a little more guidance from you.\n\nYour topic sentence simply states the main idea of your essay in your introductory paragraph.  This is what your essay will be about. \n\nFor example, if your topic sentence is "Fishing has been the main industry in Atlantic Canada for 400 years", then your whole essay will be about fishing in Atlantic Canada.  \n\nIf your topic sentence is "Recent world events have greatly complicated the aviation industry" then your essay will be about that sentence. \n\nMaybe you'd like to write about dogs.  Your topic sentence might be "Golden retrievers have become the  most popular working dog in North America."\n\nThese links may also help you.  Best of luck with your essay.

For any paper, here's a few good fool-proof tips. \n\nFirst of all, no whether you enjoy outlines or not, make one, and  you can't fail. Just think about what "social" or "cultural" effects your family, culture, or even home town have on you, and seperate those effects into what will later be as many body paragraphs as you want. \n\nSecond, somewhere in your introduction you need a sentence that states your number one main point in the whole paper. This should include a "what" and a "why". For example: My mother taught me to be an independent latina by raising me alone in a strange city when she moved to Chicago from Spain.\n\nNext, each paragraph has a topic sentence, which includes one of the "effects", and this topic sentence should relate to or prove the main sentence in the introduction paragraph. \n\nAdditionally, any following sentence should relate to your topic sentence, and should go in the order of fact, and then afterthought. \n\nIn the conclusion, keep it light and simple, and just quickly wrap things up. \n\nOfcourse we've all learned these things in elementary school, but when you lay it out like this in a formulaic type of way, it all just sort of seems to flow. Take it easy, and stay on topic. And more importantly, whatever class this paper is for, include as many vocab words relating to it as possible. \n\nThis formula on its own can get you a B. With a little hard work, you got your self an A. Good Luck!!

Master the standard format for "the five paragraph essay."  Know it backwards and forwards and stick to the formula.  Clearly expressed thoughts, coherently presented and purposeful  is more important than tossing in hastily acquired vocabulary.  When given a topic choice, go for the one with which you are most familiar.  Check this link and good luck.  And, read, read, read. If you can enlist help, ask somebody to read your practice essays who can be critical and honest.  \n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Atrium/1437/index.html

Write about something that interests you.  It's a lot easier to do research on something that you like.  Especially for a thesis that takes so much time to complete.

Every essay has a theme or topic. If your essay is an opinion essay, that is if they asked your opinion about anything (e.i. Do you feel arts help shape culture?), then yes, you should start "i think that..." or "I believe that..." or perhaps "I feel that..". If your essay is not an opinion essay (e.i. How does art shape culture?), then you must NEVER EVER use first person pronouns. Talk in third person.

ANSWER THE QUESTION DIRECTLY.  This will be your thesis, and it will be presented as one of the last sentence in your intro (in almost all cases).  The beginning of the intro should have backround info that is relevant to the rest of your paper.  \n\nIn each body paragraph, address one part of your thesis (break down your thesis into smaller parts, and prove each one of them in a separate body paragraph).  Prove them using facts, quotes (if you are doing an essay on a book), or sometimes personal beliefs.  Now, use your own interpretation to tie these facts to your thesis i.e., tell the reader how they prove it (or how they prove the parts of the thesis for that body paragraph).\n\nIn your conclusion, summarize what you said, including your thesis, and leave the reader with food for thought.

Write about what you know. If you are given a choice of topic pick something that interests you. If you are genuinely interested in a topic you'll have a decent essay before you know it. If you have to write an essay about someone in history write it in the first person, pretend that you are them when you write. Then it sounds like a story than a boring summary of the book you read to get the information from. Hope this helps.

Try to start with a story, anecdote, or interesting fact.  Something like "Did you know that people who read books for pleasure are 80% more likely to get good grades in school?"  (Something true though.. I just made that up LOL.)  If you have a funny story about why it's important to read books, that would be even better.  But make sure it's relevant to your main points.  Then say "I would like to talk to you about the importance of reading books."  And move on to your three-points introduction, or whichever format you are using :-)  Good luck!

The very FIRST thing to do is to come up with a thesis statement that will tie together what it is you plan to say about all three works. Then develop it from there.\n\nFor example, just off the top of my head (and this is total BS so don't use it), let's say that your thesis is that the protagonist in each story is a 'Christ figure.' You'd then spend a paragraph or two (or three) on each story, discussing why and using points from the story to validate your discussion. The final pargraph, the conclusion, would wrap it all up.\n\nI suggest you avoid the internet.  Go to a college library--there's all kinds of lit-crit books and journals there.

I would first decide what the overarching theme was - what was the point?  How did the characters grow, or learn, or change?  Were there any counterpoints or sub-plots that reenforced that theme?  \n\nSecond, I would go into detail how the author developed the character, or characters, and the plots and sub/counter plots all in the effort to develop the theme.  This should be the main focus of the essay.  Describe how the theme(s) all come together to reach the author's intended conclusion\n\nNext and finally, I would give my criticism of the book.  Was the buildup enough.  Were the various plots resolved, were the various themes concluded?  Did the author effectively use imagry, plot movement, all the literary devices available to effectively get his/her theme across.  How successful was he?\n\nFinally, be sure to construct all of these into a standard essay.

I'm glad you asked. 1) While you read - you should be maintaining an outline of the facts on each chapter. 2) Make note of characters, characterization (little tidbits the author reveals, and the ones you find as you read) 3) Construct a story map and note how the story moves from the exposition-to the rising action-climax-falling action and then resolution. 4) Note what your thoughts are about each character, and how they relate.  After your review your outline, go back and read it. Now you should be able to draw an intro statement based on a number of things you have discovered about the storyline, characters, plot, theme, etc.  One or two items should stick out.  For example- if the protagonist (main character) is driving the story, then trace how he/she does that and how they effect the outcome.  A good summary to me is the student who evaluates many sides of the story from different perspectives. Make it brief, you don't want to reveal "all of the good stuff", but as the reader and writer - your outline should have more information so that if you need to return and do more essay writing, you have the facts with you. Good luck to you.  I love questions like these.  It challenges me as an English teacher.  You are welcome to email me directly if you have any further questions.
