Hook sentence: Surprise - Throughout this unit, I was surprised by how much thought and detail goes into crafting a compelling narrative.
In order to engage the reader in my narrative, I like to create vivid descriptions of the setting and characters, allowing readers to easily picture themselves in the story.
Ways I can adjust the pacing in a narrative include varying sentence lengths, using dialogue to break up exposition, and incorporating action scenes to add excitement and keep the reader hooked.
