An Analogy on Essays and Marriages....Hopefully not yours!

Writing Tip of the Day:
 
Most engagements end at the wedding......We slowly stop doing and saying the romantic things we did to get the attention of our spouse at the beginning.
Most essays stop being engaging after the introduction......We get tired and stop putting the effort we were putting at the beginning with our attention getters and amazing vocabulary!
In marriage and essays, it might look something like this:
BLING! BLING! BLING! BLING!.....blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
A friend of mine who used to be a grader told me that only one out of every one hundred essays he read was engaging, unique, and exciting!
Let's be that one in a hundred....in class AND in life!
