Introductory Paragraphs: Narrating
This is the second of many possible introductions you can use to structure the introduction for your essay. Narrating begins with telling a brief story about yourself or someone you know to set up the main idea of the paper, to draw the readers in. In my example below, I wrap up the introduction with a thesis statement.
Bilbo was an ordinary hobbit. He took walks in the Shire. He never meddled in other people’s business. He would have tea in the mid-afternoon. One visit from Gandalf changed all that. Bilbo’s exciting journey to the Lonely Mountain shows how being pushed out of one’s comfort zone can change a person for the better.
