anecdote: a personal story that relates to the topic. This is commonly used in newspaper and magazine articles, but there is usually not enough room it in a five-paragraph essay. Couple of senteces. Be descriptive as much as possible. Be interesting, by showing a picture.
witty remark/ humor: cliches should never be used in essays, but a cliche with an original twist can arouse curiosity. Cliches= an overused statement. Titles of newspaper and magazine articles almost always do this.
rhetorical questions: a rhetorical question should be a clear statement that happens to be in the form of a question.
strong statement an emotionally charged statement can quickly set the tone and grab the reader's interest. This sets the most serious tone, and is usually the easiest to do for a school essay.

Notes 5/24/10

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?—To die,—to sleep,—
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to,—’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die,—to sleep;—
To sleep: perchance to dream:

the pets that Jerry and Eva each has
