Introduction to Hooks in Writing
A strong opening can capture a reader’s attention immediately. Writers often use hooks—such as interesting facts, questions, or vivid descriptions—to engage their audience from the very first sentence. Choosing the right hook depends on the purpose and tone of the essay. Similarly, effective endings leave a lasting impression, often echoing the opening or providing a call to action. Mastering both openings and endings is essential for compelling writing.
