Many people write questions as their hooks. Using a question to start an essay is kind of a cliché, but questions can be used as a hook. You can ask your readers a question to get them to think about their childhood.
When did you first begin to question the adult world?
When did you realize the world was not fair?
You can also avoid questions altogether, and focus on statements. You can turn these questions above into statements.
There comes a point when children come to question the adult world.
The world is not fair.
These are all related to the coming of age themes of the book, and Scout’s journey to understanding how the adult world works. She begins to learn empathy, and she understands life through her interactions with the Tom Robinson trial and Boo Radley. You would explore these issues in your essay.
