Quotes for HOOKs or FINALIZING Sentences

Many students learn in K-12 English classes that a good quote is the best way to begin an essay or to close the essay.  While these are the only two locations (“Hook” sentence in an Introduction paragraph or the Culminating sentence in a Conclusion paragraph) where source materials can be placed in these paragraphs, you do not have to use quotes in these locations at all. 

There are many different styles to hooking a reader or sending them away.  See your textbook for a section relating to these concepts.  I’m positive that it will have one!  However, if you are dead-set on using a quote for your “Hook” sentence or your culminating sentence of the conclusion, look at the quote listing below to conduct research on the most topic-related, intriguing quote to really resonate with your reader.
