Confucianism
The first paragraph of the manuscript is the formal introduction and should forecast the essay. It consists of four key elements: a hook, thesis statement, supporting sentences, and a transition sentence. The hook is designed to grab the reader’s attention. For this assignment, it could be about the impact of Confucianism in modern culture. Consider using statistics, a brief quote, or anecdote. The thesis statement is one, declarative statement that reflects the main idea of the entire manuscript; it is the cornerstone of the paper, so give it careful thought. Supporting sentences prepare the reader for the manuscript by identifying key points to be explored. Avoid phrases such as, “This paper will discuss…” A key to successful supporting sentences is to examine the outline of the paper and create two or three sentences that cluster these ideas in a fluid manner. This paper has three key objectives. The transition sentence is the hand off to the next paragraph.
