Intros and Conclusions

Strategies I am going to use to draw readers into my paper through the introduction is to begin with a hypothetical story. Reading the Music Television Mike introduction influenced me to completely do a turn around with my intro. My intro now is boring and not compelling to readers and just explains what I am going to discuss throughout my paper. I want to begin with a hypothetical situation about what would happen if I didn't watch T.V. as a child and what my life would be like then. I haven't thought about how I am going to begin this yet or what the situation will be, but I have faith I will come up with something magical. 

So that is how I am going to begin my paper but I'm still wondering how I will end it in a way that will leave readers thinking further. Referring back to The McGraw-Hill Handbook, I think I am going to summarize my main point and suggest some implications for the future. Basically explain what my paper focused on and how it will benefit me in the future and maybe future generations. 

Honestly, my conclusion now is a piece of crap that took me 3 minutes to write because I was too exhausted from writing 6 pages already. But now that I have a big chunk of my paper written, I can now focus on my intro and conclusion. My conclusion now just has some general, broad statements about T.V. and how it has shaped people. That clearly doesn't work so I now have a lot to work on to make my paper interesting and comprehendible.
