Question

Angelou separates the essay into two sections. the first is a relatively brief introduction. how does it serve as an introduction?

Answer 1

Since its brief it just gives and idea on what the topic is. Angelou can be stating a couple of facts or opinions about the essay without saying the topic in detail.

Answer 2

Introduction is the initial part of the essay followed by the body, and then the conclusion. The introduction serves as a starting section outlining what the goal and purpose of writing is. This part of the essay is very important, because it is practically the first paragraph to grab and to interest the reader to continue reading. Introductory theses that announce the purpose and goal of writing, should be focused, specific not much obscured. Usually, although this is not the rule, the introduction should be 5% of the total essay.
