ENGLISH 'No Sugar"

[Hzahra12]

HELP PLEASE...
how do i start an introduction please help?

if the prompt was... one of this
i. Poverty and scarcity of resources are such significant forces in the lives of characters that they
are motivated by nothing else.
Do you agree?
OR
ii. In what ways does Davis convey the sense of displacement and isolation experienced by
Aboriginal characters to the audience?

In order to write a strong introduction you have to state your contention in only one sentence. For instance for "i" your contention can be " In the play No Sugar, although poverty may influence some characters' motives however Jack Davis shows us that for most characters, the need to overcome adversity and insecurities inspires them to take action"
So in this sentence I have talked about how the prompt is true some times for some characters and how overcoming adversity and insecurities are the motives for characters actions. Hence there will be 3 arguments. (My contention can be too long it is rather like a whole paragraph)
This can be one way of arguing. The format that I have used is No, Yes, No. Meaning that I have one argument which agrees with the prompt and 2 that doesn't. You could also use Yes, No, Yes format but always make sure to use either of those.
My advice is first highlight the key words of the prompt.
Then rewrite the prompt in your own words.
Choose No, Yes, No or Yes, No,Yes format.
Write 3 arguments based on the format with 3 evidences each.
Introduce the prompt in your own words and then agree or disagree.
Afterwards introduce the 3 arguments with no mentioning of evidence.

** this is the way that I write my intro. I might be wrong.

Try to have a sentence (or even better half a sentence) at the beginning that sums up the relevant background information then. You could try: 'Set against a backdrop of... cultural prejudices and oppression, Jack Davis' play No Sugar explores...' where you swap out the underlined bit for something that's relevant to the prompt. Or have a whole sentence like 'The oppression of Indigenous people is an irreparable blemish on Australian history that had profound effects for many individuals. Jack Davis' play...' though that can sound a little weird. Personally, I prefer the half-sentence as it forces you to connect the background info with the play and its concerns, so it means whatever you write will be relevant.

Just make sure the prompt is your priority and that your introduction manages to encapsulate your contention - those are your main goals
