An introductory paragraph must and must not contain these things:
Must-
1. Hook/Grabber - Interesting fact, rhetorical question (not recommended), statistic, or just anything (in this case) relating to what your essay is going to talk about that may make the reader more interested. I suggest that you try and make this a little more interesting, such as something relating to Elie and the holocaust to keep the reader interested.
2. Overview of Support - Write what you will further explain in the next paragraphs so that the reader actually knows what they're getting into. It is vital for any article or essay because it helped ease into the writing without any confusion. You should also include shortened reasoning of why your statement is correct/to justify your claim.
Must Not-
1. Very long, dragged out sentences - This will obviously bore the reader. Long and dragged out/descriptive intros will make the reader disinterested and possibly just outright explain what the entire essay is about, which is also a bad sign because it could be considered repetition (which, yes, consistency is key, but seeing the same thing over and over constantly may annoy the reader). You also want to avoid doing this because it takes up more time than it needs to -- remember this is just an introduction!
2. Anything off-topic or unrelated to what your essay/article is about - This means not talking about yourself (especially if it is an informative essay) or talking about your family and the Holocaust (as an example, but not accurate), (etc.) when that is not the main focus of the essay.
This is about all I can think of for now, if you have any further questions, please PM me. Hope I helped and good luck!

He was a broker, "a sly-looking man with side whiskers, a solicitor [lawyer] in a very small way of business, but sharp enough to have realized earlier than anyone else that Animal Farm would need a broker and that the commissions would be worth having" (6.9)
Hope this helps :)
MIT researchers have found an answer in a new study that shows humans need about 390 to 600 milliseconds to detect and react to road hazards, given only a single glance at the road — with younger drivers detecting hazards nearly twice as fast as older drivers.
