Have you ever done something you thought would be harmless but instead you have hurt someone badly?
For a picture composition such as the one below, it is important to have an introduction that would grab your reader's attention.
Looking at this picture, there are a few questions that comes to a viewer's mind. Take a few moments to think through and brainstorm your ideas before you begin writing.
If so, what made him litter or throw the glass bottle down four storeys in the first place?
What do you think the passers-by would do?
What thoughts are running through the culprit's head? How does he feel on the inside?
What will happen next?
Will the culprit own up?
Will there be any consequences or punishment for the culprit if he does so?
What happens in the end?
Some examples of good ways to begin your composition.
(1) DIALOGUE
"Aiieeeeeeeeeee!" yelled Mr Gapret as a loud thud was heard, followed shortly by the sound of glass breaking. Mr Thiat's both hands clutched the top of his head tightly, trying hard to stem the flow of blood seeping down his forehead.
(2) ACTION
A few passers-by sprinted to the aid of a bleeding Mr Gapret, alarmed by the loud yell of pain followed by the unmistakable sound of breaking glass. They gathered around Mr Gapret trying to survey the situation as he moaned in pain, clutching the top of his head.
"Are you alright, Sir?" an urgent voice of an middle-aged plump lady called out, worry ringing clear in her voice.
* These two introduction styles help your reader launch immediately into the thick of the action!
