I have to identify an introductory technique that could be used to grab the reader’s attention and showcase the main idea for an essay, explain why I selected this technique, where it would be useful, and where might it not work. I know all of the types of introductions but I don't know if that's what this means, any opinions? Please help if you can, and if you want me to provide the few introduction types I have I can just so you know I am not cheating on my work.

Scroll down to the paragraph that starts "Professional writers who write..." Five excellent techniques are listed. Then keep scrolling down and read the details about these five.

Okay I have read about all five and the techniques that stood out the most were declarative and surprising statement. What one do you think would be best for a compare and contrast essay about flat irons and curling irons? Please help and provide an example, I am showing favor towards the flat iron but equally evaluating them.

I like the surprising statement.
