General introduction to our guidebook

Most nonfiction guidebooks have a paragraph, a page, or a chapter devoted to a general introduction about the topic.  We are going to have the same thing because it will tie all our subtopics together.  Make sure you:

• Make your intro exciting
• Think about making a joke or being light-hearted
• Possibly ask an interesting question
• In the last sentence or two introduce your topics (remember those 6 paragraphs you wrote in class?)

Here's my intro:

     Did you know that Salvador Dali was famous for his crazy mustache?  Although this is true, he was even more famous for the amazing art that he created during his lifetime.  Few people can disagree about how much of an influence his art had on the world.  This guidebook will focus on his kinds of art, how others influenced him, his "paranoiac-critical" style, his use of clocks, and why he's one of the most amazing artists of all time.
