homework is stupid
Homework is pointless. And it’s not just because I’m lazy; there’s a real issue here. After spending eight hours in school, why would I want to spend another two hours alone, staring at problems?

Starting an essay can sometimes be challenging, but here are a few strategies that might help you get started:
Hook the Reader: Begin with an interesting quote, a surprising statistic, or a thought-provoking question that relates to your topic. This can grab the reader’s attention right away.
Provide Context: Offer some background information about the topic to frame your essay. This helps the reader understand what you’re going to discuss.
State Your Thesis: After your hook and context, clearly state your main argument or thesis statement. This gives your essay direction and informs the reader of your main point.
Use a Personal Anecdote: If relevant, sharing a brief personal story or experience can make your introduction more engaging and relatable.
Paint a Picture: Use descriptive language to set the scene or describe a situation that relates to your essay’s theme. This can create a vivid image in the reader’s mind.
Once you decide on your approach, just start writing! You can always revise your introduction later. Good luck!
