How to: MLA Introduction

When writing any essay the first thing that the author should keep in mind is having a strong hook. The hook can make or break the essay because it determines weather the essay is a success or a train wreck. Another tip that an author should always have in a mla format essay is a strong thesis statement. The thesis statement should keep the focus on the big idea of the essay however; the thesis statement should never start off with, "In this paper you'll learn..."or "After reading this paper..." because it is dull. Finally the author should not add details or examples of the main points in their introduction.
