During my cookie esasy, I virtually didn't use any techniques in my introduction. This blog is meant to try to create new introductions to hook the reader and make them want to read my paper. The first technique that I would like to try is to write the introductions through the use of an anecdote.
I just didn't know what to do! My stomach was rumbling and there was no way to stop it. I began pacing back and forward thinking about how to solve my dilemma but the rumbling was very distracting. Suddenly, I realized what I wanted! The world's most famous cookie was calling my name from the kitchen cupboard and I couldn't resist its call. The chocolate chip cookie is the best cookie in the world and everyone knows its name. This made me wonder, "Does a delicious choclate chip cookie taste any different when made by different companies?"
The next technique I wished to try to use was to start the introduction off with a good question.
If you were to go to any part of the world, what do you think you could find? If you wanted a cookie, what type would it be? What type of cookie is known throughout the world and is praised by all? The chocolate chip cookie is the most delicious and well known cookie in the world! It made me begin to ask, "Is there such thing as a different chocolate chip cookie if it is made by a different company?"
The last technique that I wanted to try was to begin my essay with a quotation.
"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get." -Forrest Gump
This quotation shows that how you can't expect what life throws at you, it will always be unexpected. This is exactly what I learned when I tested chocolate chip cookies. At first I believed that they would all be delicious and taste just like I could dream, but the day we tested if chocolate chip cookies were the same from different brands, I was in for a big surprise.
Dude, I freakin' love blogs. Also, it's Thursday.
ReplyDeleteDude, I know! I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited for the new reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour first intoduction is the best of out of the new ones you've wrote. I like this one the most because the anecdote is one that everyone can relate to and the descriptions are really good. while reading it I actually started to get hungry for a chocolate chip cookie. Also this introduction really makes the reader want to read more.
ReplyDeleteOut of all your introductions i liked the third one the best, i liked the third introduction the best because of the fact it included forest gump and because of the fact it elaborated on the quote and went on about how it was to relate to your paper. Also it went on because it showed how you were suprised by how similar the tastes of each chocolate chip cookie brand was. I liked the first introduction because it made the reader think of answers to the questions and how the paper was to turn out. I liked the first introduction, though it sounded a little like tylers... hmm.. It was good and provided a scenario to the reader of chocolate chip cookies.
ReplyDeleteWe were sharing ideas. It was a combined effort. :D
ReplyDeletethe last one was the best because of the forest gump quote

ReplyDeleteI thought your third one was the best because of the Forest gump quote, it also changes the readers perspective on chocolate chip cookies. It also introduced that you tasted different brands and was going to compare and contrast them.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Forest Gump quote you put into the third introduction. Anything unique like that will really pull the reader in. Also the description throughout the whole introduction was great!
