Question

What is a good way to start off my introduction for a biographical sketch?

Answer 1

Start the introduction with something that will grab the reader. It could be an unusual or very important fact about that person. For instance, an article I read recently about Michelle Obama began something like this.

Michelle Obama's great great grandfather lived in a small white cabin as a slave on a plantation.

Answer 2

But it has to be in narrative form.
the biographical sketch has to be about ME.

Answer 3

Then pick an especially important or unusual fact about YOU.

Answer 4

June 14, 1994, the day I was born, changed my mother's life.
would that be a goood introductionn??

Answer 5

start off your introduction with something interesting that no one knows about you.

for ex. I would start mine off with something like this:

Hello, my name is Anna, and I love travelling to exotic locations.

Answer 6

You could start it that way. But consider highlighting the most exotic location you've seen. Then tie that in with the rest of your essay.

For instance, I might say --

The awe-inspiring Egyptian Pyramids brought home to me the greatness of human ingenuity.

Answer 7

Here is another example:


Hello my name is Anna, and the day I was born which was June 14, 1994, changed my mom's life completely. She is lucky to have me as I am lucky to have her. She has given me all the happiness I could have ever asked for.

Answer 8

Hello, my name is Anna, and I love travelling to exotic locations, such as Paris, London,etc. I love London because of its awesome boutiques.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Answer 11

This one:

Instead of "etc." though, add a third place.
