Homework Help: English

Hello, i'm writing an essay about how truth should be told because it will help materialize solutions to problems and difficulties, etc. Can you please help me start my introduction? I want to start it really interestingly but nothing really comes in mind... and also, for my conclusion am I just repeating what i said in the body paragraphs? wouldn't that seem too redundant? What should I do? Thank you so much! :D

How truth should be told? Plain, simple, straightforward, with clarity.

Wondering if you meant "why" truth, instead of "how" truth.

Introduction: You try this, we will critique.

Yes, the conclusion does restate what you said, but a creative writer really summarizes, and if restatement is done, it is simplified.

Yep I am writing about why truth should be told :) But is asking a question a good way to start an introduction? Maybe like "have you had an experience where..."?
