START YOUR STORY OFF RIGHT

The hook establishes the direction your writing will take. A good intro grabs your reader's attention and refuses to let go.

John F. Kennedy once said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." I think today's Americans have forgotten Kennedy's message. We expect our country to take care of us, but we are not taking care of our country.
