When writing a hook… Think of a couple general topics relating to the content of the text(s) For example, if you were writing a rhetorical analysis essay on what Elie Wiesel’s main argument in Night is, you could write a hook about several different topics: Injustice in the world Indifference What else?

What NOT to write Do not write hooks relating to the topic of writing… “Oftentimes when a writer has a point to make, figurative language is the perfect way to emphasize the point” “Metaphors can be the best device for drawing comparisons” “Emotions are best conveyed using literary techniques”

Write a thesis clearly addressing the prompt

HD’s “Helen” takes a different approach, bashing Helen for the destruction that her beauty caused through the use of imagery and parallel structure. 4. Thus, through the use of figurative language, Poe and HD were able to create opposing effects—a sense of tranquility through the admiration of beauty, and a scathing tone criticizing the overemphasis of beauty. 1. Hook 4. Thesis 2/3. Summary & Blueprint
