Write an Introduction: Adventure Edition
A good beginning can make a world of difference. A good introduction tells the main point of your essay, captures the interest of your readers, and lets them know why your topic is important. Let’s explore the introductions to two exciting adventure movies to learn how we can start our essays creatively!
Setting
Vividly describe the place you are writing about to establish the setting in your reader’s mind.
Story
If you have an interesting background story as to why you were at the place, use this in your introduction to attract your reader.

Setting
The Night at the Museum
The American Museum of Natural History was renowned for its exciting exhibitions. In the Hall of Human Origins were the curious-looking Neanderthals, wildly excited to start a fire. Two levels above in the Hall of Primates were the Capuchin monkeys with mischievous grins. Finally, the fossil exhibit of the Tyrannosaurus Rex stood on the top floor, ready to pounce. Adventure lurked around in every corner, and the museum was to become the most memorable place I would ever encounter. For it was here that history really came to life for me.

Pandora; a place I grew up hearing about but never imagined that I would set foot in. My brother was the one who was supposed to go. He was the scientist, not me. But I found my way to the beautiful alien planet as a replacement for my dead brother. Little did I know that Pandora would soon become my most memorable place. It changed my life completely.
