Conclusion

The HOOK is:

—The first few sentences of the essay.

—Designed to grab the reader’s attention and draw them into the essay topic.

—It could be a quote, story, fact, generalization, historical reference, allusion, or even a question if done correctly.

—It should not be a definition, simple question, or “I’m going to write about…” statement.

—This may be the most important sentence in your essay.
