They don't ask for ransom because they want money right away so they can eat.

<h3>Why do they need money right away?</h3>
  • The men say they are very hungry, but they don't have any money to buy food.
  • They can't get any kind of donation either and the hunger is getting hard to bear.
  • For this reason, they decide to rob a rich white man, so they would have immediate money to satisfy their hunger.

The hunger is so violent that they don't even realize they can get more money by keeping the man kidnapped and asking for a ransom payment.

This question is about "Why you Reckon" written by Langston Hughes, who was an author who used to portray the challenges of black society.

Someone help please. I need an introduction paragraph about different types of parents like the kind, strict, and the patient pa
topjm [15]

Answer:

I can give you some general ideas and guidelines, although I'm not sure what you're going for.

You can start an introduction paragraph using a surprising fact, a rhetorical question, a definition or an anecdote. These are some of many ways.

An anecdote is a short personal story. If you start with an anecdote, you can write about your parents or a friend's parents, whether they are strict, kind or patient and how.

Some very general first sentences:

- Different types parents different ways of raising children, each with their positive and negative sides. (This might work better as a last sentence)

- The role of a parent is to provide for their children and give them a place to belong at the beginning of their lives.

- The personality of a parent can influence how they act towards or raise their children.

Your first sentence should try introduce the topic in an attention-grabbing way.

Somewhere in your introduction, include the 3 sub-arguments that support your thesis.

Your last sentence should be your thesis statement which is your main argument. It might be that different types of parents raise different types of people, or that different parenting styles each have their pros and cons.

Everything depends on what you want to highlight and your diction/tone.
