I need help in writing a general statement and transition statement to my essay. I have all the body paragraphs.. but not an intro and a conclusion.

Question

Please help. Thanks.

My essay topic is

a shakespearean tragedy is a story of human actions producing exceptional calamity and ending in death of a man in high estate. to what extent does this apply to King Lear (the novel, not just the character)

Thank you so much in advance.

woops sorry not novel =\ 
play..

I think you would get better help if you put what you think the intro and transistion statement should be. We will critique it.

write a most interesting intro like

do tou know what it is like to be. . .

Here is a couple of verrrry good sites on writing introductions and conclusions. When you have written your introduction, repost and we will be happy to make suggestions.
