A meaningful quote and/or a universal idea could serve as hooks for the introuction of a literary analysis.
An analgy or metaphor is typically used in a compare contrast essay, a definition of terms is more for a research paper as is a startling fact.
<span>"Half asleep, Liesel dreams of Adolf Hitler speaking at a rally where Hitler smiles at Liesel, and Liesel, who is illiterate, greets him in broken German. In Liesel's dream, she does not hate Hitler as she does later in the book."
This shows the original opinion of Liesel in which she has not yet been effected by his rise to power. Serves as a contrast to later in the book. </span>
The only thing on there that actually made sense was the Dry:Air, but flood doesn't mean air. :/
