Take a look at a sample attention getter that would support your thesis statement. there are 5 types of attention getters but we are going to focus on using just 1 type for this writing practice. let’s figure out how to identify quotes that would be useful ways to approach getting the attention of your audience. if i were writing an essay about dogs being superior to cats, for example, i might look for a quote about a dog being man’s best friend. if i were writing about the intricate workings of the brain, i might look for a quote about how men think. whatever i choose, i need to find some way to show that it is relevant to the rest of the essay throughout my paper. i will do this through transitions and a lead in to my thesis statement, which we will work on next. for today, find 5 quotes that might go with 5 thesis statements. here are the thesis statements i gathered: it is very interesting how the human brain weighs about 3 pounds. it is incredibe how the total amount of oxygen and blood that goes to the brain is only 20%. it is very useful in dangerous matter to know that the stop of blood circulation after eight seconds to the brain causes it to loose consciousness. it is so facinating how we grow older we are unable to remember new things because the brain is unable to filter and remove old memories. it's amazing how the human brain has 100 billion neurons.

i need to

explanation:

wonky   sloppy   foggy  

donky kong! jk

oh yeah yeah   hope this oh yeah yeah

answer:   a good wench, give it me.

iago

good girl, give it to me.

emilia

what will you do with ’t, that you have been so earnest

325to have me filch it?

emilia

and what are you going to do with it? why did you want it so much that you begged me to steal it?

iago

  why, what is that to you?

iago

what’s it to you?

emilia

if it be not for some purpose of import,

give ’t me again. poor lady, she’ll run mad

when she shall lack it.

emilia

if you don’t need it for some important reason, then give it back to me. poor lady, she’ll go crazy when she sees it’s missing.

iago

be not acknown on ’t,

330i have use for it. go, leave me.

iago

don’t admit to knowing anything about it. i need it. now go, leave me.

exit emilia

emilia exits.

i will in cassio’s lodging lose this napkin

and let him find it. trifles light as air

are to the jealous confirmations strong

as proofs of holy writ. this may do something.

335the moor already changes with my poison.

dangerous conceits are in their natures poisons

which at the first are scarce found to distaste,

but with a little act upon the blood

burn like the mines of sulfur.

i’ll leave this handkerchief at cassio’s house and let him find it.to a jealous man, a meaningless little thing like this looks like absolute proof. this handkerchief may be useful to me. the moor’s mind has already become infected with my poisonous suggestions. ideas can be like poisons. at first they hardly even taste bad, but once they get into your blood they start burning like hot lava.

enter othello

othello enters.

    i did say so.

340look, where he comes. not poppy nor mandragora

nor all the drowsy syrups of the world,

shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep

which thou owedst yesterday.

here he comes. no drugs or sleeping pills will ever give you the restful sleep that you had last night.

othello

    ha! ha! false to me?

othello

argh! she’s cheating on me?

iago

why, how now, general? no more of that.

iago

oh, general, , no more of that!
