Read the paragraph that Lukas is planning to include in his narrative essay.

Running is my life. Beginning last summer I practiced every day from the early break of dawn until the heat of the midday sun forced me to take a break. Sipping from my bottle of icy water to keep myself hydrated, I dreamed about running a mile in under ten minutes to compete in the statewide race.

He should put it at the end of the essay.
He should delete it from the essay.

He should put it in the beginning of the essay.

Reason: it introduces the central idea (running is his life), gives the starting point in time (last summer), and sets up the goal and conflict (training to run a mile under ten minutes for the statewide race), so it works well as an opening.
