Importance of an Introduction

Whenever there is a paper to be written there are various rhetorical tools that used. First, there is usually the creation of the body of the paper, but the paper needs a beginning and a ending. The beginning of the paper, also known as introduction, will lay the foundation for the paper. It can make or break the paper. There is a need for an attention getter, something to engage the audience into further reading of the paper. Then an brief explanation of the topic of the paper. The introduction will have a thesis statement, a declaration of the main reason the topic has been selected. There is a need to state the goals of reaching the audience, and the support behind the topic. The introduction is the transition into the body of the paper. It must establish its points, so the audience is aware of what they need to look for to support the thesis.
