I'm in Language Arts 8 B and I have to write an argumentative essay for the poems “The Sky is Low, the Clouds are Mean” and “Concrete Mixers”.
I have to do 5-7 paragraphs and I am a good writer and usually get a good grade, but I was wondering if someone could give me a few could hook sentences to catch the readers attention.
Just examples, not stuff from the actual poems.
Thank you.
By the way if someone doesn't know what a Hook Sentence is, it's a sentence that grabs the readers attention, and usually makes them want to read more. But, I want a good topic/hook sentence.
I have 6 views so far, so it means people are seeing my question...But not answering, my question isn't difficult.
Certainly! Here are a few examples of hook sentences that could catch the readers' attention for your argumentative essay on the poems "The Sky is Low, the Clouds are Mean" and "Concrete Mixers":
1. "Imagine a world where the heavens conspire against us, reflecting our deepest fears and anxieties - this is the captivating world painted by the poems 'The Sky is Low, the Clouds are Mean' and 'Concrete Mixers'."
2. "In a collision of nature and machinery, these poems embody the essence of modernity, showcasing the raw power of innovation and the overwhelming insignificance of the individual within their urban landscapes."
3. "Prepare to embark on a literary journey that takes you soaring through the cloudy abyss and plunges you into the gritty depths of construction pits - welcome to the mesmerizing world of 'The Sky is Low, the Clouds are Mean' and 'Concrete Mixers'."
4. "What do clouds and concrete have in common? More than meets the eye. Delve into the juxtaposition of the ethereal with the tangible in these thought-provoking poems."
5. "As you brace yourself for a poetic collision of surreal imagery and mundane reality, 'The Sky is Low, the Clouds are Mean' and 'Concrete Mixers' beckon you into a world where nothing is as it seems."
Remember, these are just examples to inspire you. It's important to craft a hook sentence that aligns with the angle or thesis of your essay and entices your readers to delve further into your argument.
