The first few minutes of a piece of literature are very important, for it sets the setting and tone for the movie or book. The beginning is also very important because it has to keep the viewer interested and hooked. The first few minutes of Macbeth are mysterious and mystical which lets the reader imagine the scene in their head. A good strong introduction is one that catches the readers attention while explaining what happened before the book started. Catching the reader’s attention will be key to how the reader reviews the book in the end. If the book doesn’t relate or interest the reader, than the rest of the book wont be enjoyable. The book Macbeth starts with the witches talking about when they are going to meet again. The witches in the book symbolize trouble for the future. Also the mood that the witches set is showing you what the rest of the book might be like.

I like how you approached this topic. When you first mention Macbeth, you could spend a bit more time talking about how the book starts and what it shows you. My suggestion is to consolidate talking about Macbeth and then talk about how it applies to the guidelines for a good intorduction.

ps. I like your background!

Which is your favorite show?
