The Hook 
Do you like to fish? If so, you probably know the importance of using the right kind of hook or bait if you want to catch a particular fish. Similarly, your opening to your essay needs to “catch” your readers’ attention long enough so that the next lines can “reel them in.”

Consider using one of these techniques in your revised narrative essay: a focusing question, some dialogue, or a short scene. Here’s an opener that uses a scene to interest the reader in the topic (sample nursing essay examples by the best nursing assignment writing service) of single parenthood:

“Mom, please! All the kids at school have one. Do you want me to be a social outcast?” My son glared at me and slouched against the row of gleaming cell phones, as other customers shot disapproving glances my way. Did they think I was an ogre for not indulging him or a permissive parent for allowing him to speak to me like that? Ah, parenthood… Whatever made me think I could raise a child to adulthood? And now I was facing the frightening prospect on my own.
