Context Essay Question

[supermanflyaway]

When writing an expository essay for context, can we use a real-world example in the intro that is the opposite to what is said in the prompt?

e.g. When we encounter conflict, we can lose all hope. Can we use an example in the intro that explores someone not giving up hope in conflict?

Yes, you can challenge the prompt.

I have a question kinda relevant: is it okay to start with an anecdote, or should we use an introduction first?

Yes!! Go for it!!
I always start with an anecdote or something similar

The great thing about creating and presenting is all in the title
You are creating...and presenting... So make it as captivating and full of depth as you can
An anecdote/quote/imaginative opening makes it so much more interesting and gives a life to your writing
