The best way to captivate a reader is by having a good opening to your essay or paper. In the following exercise, it will help you think through your opening paragraph or a paragraphs. Write three openings to your paper or essay to help you decide which one would be write for your paper or essay.
Openings:
1. The boat lands on the shore and the door swings open. Five guys rush out only to be sprayed by German bullets. The men behind them rush out trying to find cover. Only half of the men on the boat actually make it behind a bunker safe and alive. Their task is far from over, landing on the beach was just the first step. The Allied soldiers now have to take over the Normandy beaches.
2. Four men are standing around a table with a map of France and a mixture of military pictures on it. Staring at the map they all knew this invasion was a risky move. The weather was not looking promising and who knew what Hitler was up to. You could have heard a mouse squeak of how quite it was in the room. The plan to invade Normandy was finalized. The only thing was would the invasion work.
3. Today rarely do the people of the United States agree with the leaders of our country in big matters around the world. It was no different in June 1945. A big and huge decision the leaders of the US were making and not a lot of military men and common men agreed with. This decision could wipe out thousands of Allied forces and be slaughter or end the WWII. The invasion of Normandy was a decision that had to be made but was not favorable.
