The most important part of writing an introduction on narrative essays is to hook your reader from the beginning.
The following are great examples of narrative essay introductions:
- Quotes
- Anecdote
- Shocking or Surprising statement
- Statistics about a certain subject
Search for quotes from literature, authors or great philosophers that can connect to your subject. Use that to eloquently connect your audience to your composition

a. Free will does not exist. If it’s true that there is such thing, then I would have a chance to choose when to be born, what hospital I will be delivered to, and who my parents will be.
This enables your audience to know where or what direction you’re going to. Just be sure you have a right source for your statistic.
a. 1 out of 10 people in this country will die of cancer. You don’t want to be the “1”.
Though these are not the complete list of introduction for essays, these will give you an idea on how to make a great one.
