Sample Introduction to Murderball
Please note the image below, which has also been annotated.
Things to note:
- Global sentence is there to work to introduce the topic at a very general level.
- The way in which the text is introduced, to include genre, who directed, when the text was released.
- A BRIEF summary of the plot and main characters.
- Key concepts.
- Thesis statement.
This example is there to exemplify the STRUCTURE of an introduction and to exemplify how to write about the text in an efficient manner. You would also need to ensure that your introductions also reference the question directly and use the key words from the question to construct your argument.
This isn’t a perfect example but it should work to give you an idea of the order in which you need to construct your introduction.
Note that is goes from the general to the specific.
