[Pyle_PMG]

Hi guys, I am writing an essay for English class about the book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

Anyway, the essay is on this:
Dr. Tony Atwood writes that from his clinical experience, individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome “have a different, not defective, way of thinking”.

Considering both his autistic savant abilities and the fact that order and stability are necessary components of Christopher’s life, discuss whether it would be advantageous or detrimental to live like Christopher.

I am doing the advantages for Christopher, but don't know what the opening sentence of my introduction should be, I know the topic sentence, but not how to get to it. Help me please!!!

Write the body of your essay first, then do your introduction and conclusion.

Okay, that actually is a good idea.
Thanks.

Introduction should be something like this:

"Dis mah paypuh. Reed it plz."

Write the body of your essay first, then do your introduction and conclusion.

Okay, I have the body paragraphs (3 paragraphs) almost done. How should I order them? Strongest reason first? Weakest reason second? 2nd Strongest third? Or should I end with the strongest reason?

Start with your second strongest, sandwich your weak one in the middle, and finish up with your best one. That way, you leave the strongest impression as a whole. People tend to forget the middle (weak part), but it's strong enough to hook them to continue reading, and by putting the strongest one last it leaves the best impression for making the reader want to support your argument.

At least that's the method I follow, and it always serves me well!👍

That made the most sense to me, I asked 2 English teachers at lunch and they said either one was good. Thanks,
