What do I think the first page of a novel should do.
(TS) A novels first page should grab your attention to suck the reader into the story immediately. (SD) Starting off a book or an essay is always hard for me. (CM) One thing that I think is very important is something funny or interesting that will hook the reader right from the start. (CM) For example, (assonance) Sammy sprinkled his sprinkles all over his luscious lips. After reading this sentence you will probably want to know what is going to happen next. (SD) I also think that the first page of a novel should have a brief overview of the main characters that are in the story. (CM) I haven't read many books in my lifetime but the few that I have read seemed like they were being rushed and didn't explain what the story was going to be about before the story started. (CM) Some of my favorite books have started off with an introduction of the main character, such as, "Hello, my name is" and so fourth. (SD) The beginning pages of a novel should simply be the beginning of a great story. (CM) The first page should be a brief introduction telling the reader what and who the story is about. (CM) Grabbing the reader and making them feel like they are actually in the story is crucial, or the reader might put the book down! (CS) When I race my race cars at the local speedway my dad always says to me that I can't win on the first lap, but I can lose, I think the same way about novels except for the opposite, the author can win on the first page but he/she can also lose.
