The first words that a reader reads often determines whether or not they continue reading. Therefore, it is essential as authors that we make the most of our beginnings. As we look at the website below, try to determine which type of beginning your piece has and see if you can make it even more attention grabbing.

Some of our OWN great beginnings...

 Mission In Darkness Prologue I'm a secret agent and I am going to sneak into a base to retrieve a stolen document that came from our base. What I'm going to do is sky dive when the island comes into view. On my way down I will come to about 1/8th of a mile & swim the rest of the way. Once I get to the private river, I will cut the iron bars. Once I enter the river I will swim up it and jump out. Once out of the river I will make my way to the buildings. Inside, I will go up to the third floor where my target is. Just before I go into the hall I peek around the corner to see what is there. To my surprise there are not a lot of guards there. I think to myself “Why are there not a lot of guards to protect such valuable information?” They are armed with AK47's & M9 pistols. As I slowly take out my silenced pistol I quickly turn around the corner and shoot the guards.
