Quickwrite 10/20

One thing I took away from chapter four of The Curious Researcher was the passage on interesting introductions. I really liked the way they gave examples of interesting starts to a paper, like through dialogue or story-telling. However, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to start a paper in an 'interesting' or 'exciting' way since it's supposed to be a scientific research paper. So even though I really liked the ideas the book gave me, I don't know if they're applicable to my paper.

  1. I was put in an interesting situation with being able to use an "interesting" opener in my research paper. I was afraid that it would be inappropriate for the genre of paper. I ended up changing my introduction to make it more formal.
