Narrative hooks

Cards (4)

  • The puzzling hook
    This immediately makes you ask questions of the story. Who? What? How? Etc
  • Direct address hook
    You are spoken to directly and feel involved from the startToy
  • Atmospheric hook
    Highly descriptive, and could evoke any variety of moods. A writer could describe setting, atmosphere or character in such a detailed and evocative way that makes the reader immediately engaged
  • Visual hook
    Appeals to our sense of sight. Its similar to the atmospheric hook, but it emphasises the visual - the reader can see very clearky the action that's being described
