The rules about is that you should understand the topic you will be writing about. Grammar and punctuation is very important. In general for me the hard part about writing is that sometimes it is hard to combine two sentences together, and introduction is the hardest thing to write.
I hate when instructors assigns an essay because its hard for me to come up with my claims that supports the author’s claim. Rose wants people to know that hook in the intro paragraph is important, so that it can catch readers attention. He also points out that students can have many ideas but they don’t know where to start with. I can relate to Ruth, because writing a hook in my introduction is hard.
And just like with the CATW, a hook introduction sentence shouldn’t be something that keeps you from writing. Just start, and the words will flow even if you have to go back and revise like crazy.
