The introduction. What a strange paragraph, and probably one of the hardest paragraphs to write. There is so much going on in such a short amount of words, and yet it is one of the most important pieces to an essay (besides the conclusion). The writer must pull someone into the story. Almost literally wrapping the words around the reader 's mind, and letting the reader live through the writer 's own thoughts.

However, every now and then I get onto this “typing roll”. Usually it happens when I have gotten to the part of the essay that I have been looking forward to writing, or to the part that I had thought about writing in my head (or outline). Yet, as soon as I forget where my train of thought was heading I have to reread the passage as if the directions I took will remind me where I was
