Introduction for the Persuasive Essay

First grab the readers attention. Try to use two different hooks! For
example, begin with a story and then pose a question to the reader. (Hooks
can be written in 2nd person.)
The bridge connects the hook with the thesis statement. A general
statement about the topic will work.
End with an effective thesis statement.
Revise as needed.
