Improving paragraphs

Sentence 1: Hook
    Imagine that . . .
    Ask a question
Set the stage for the reader with a sentence. "In Frost's poem the traveller faces a fork in the road . . ."
State Frost's point (your interpretation, in one sentence)
Cite an example that illustrates your point. "I doubted if I should ever come back."
As you go, add sentences that help you convince the reader of the point you are making.
To better elaborate:
     Constantly ask yourself "why" and "how" questions and add sentences answering those questions.
General hints:
Don't use the following words: "it," "being"







decision    becomes  life-altering decision or very important decision
