To add a hook to your introduction for your compare and contrast essay, you can use a variety of techniques to grab the reader's attention. Here are a few suggestions:
1. Start with a thought-provoking question: Begin your introduction with a question related to mental illnesses or the portrayal of individuals with mental illnesses in literature and film. For example, you could ask, "What do the short story 'The Yellow Wallpaper' and the movie 'A Beautiful Mind' have in common when it comes to portraying mental illnesses?"
2. Begin with a surprising fact or statistic: Start your introduction with a surprising fact or statistic about mental illnesses or the impact of literature and film on society's perception of mental health. This can immediately capture your reader's interest. For example, you could say, "According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 1 in 5 adults in the United States experience mental illness each year. How do literary works like 'The Yellow Wallpaper' and movies like 'A Beautiful Mind' contribute to understanding and addressing this issue?"
3. Use a compelling quote: Start your introduction with a relevant and impactful quote from one of the texts or from an expert in the field. This can set the tone for your essay and engage the reader. For instance, you could use a quote like, "'The Yellow Wallpaper' and 'A Beautiful Mind' shed light on the complexities of mental illnesses, reminding us that 'the only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive' (John Green)."
Remember, a hook should be attention-grabbing and directly related to the topic of your essay. It should prompt the reader to continue reading and explore your ideas further.
