For this week's blog, you will compose the introduction to your paper. As Hacker says, a good length for an introduction is between 50 and 150 words. Write an introduction and integrate your thesis into it.
This introduction needs to do several things. It needs to grab your reader's attention. You should establish the topic and show that you know something about the topic -- that is, you need to evince your academic credibility. Also, be sure that your writing leads up to your thesis statement(s) effectively.
This is a short assignment, but I expect you to work hard to polish this into a strong and interesting introduction! Finally, as this is a formal paper, make sure your writing is clear and conforms to Standard English grammar.

Can you describe happiness? While language may be beneficial during interactions that involve discussing former emotions, since happiness is not clearly defined, language cannot precisely express our emotions. It is understood that “sad” refers to a state of grief or sorrow; but because emotions are a subjective their definition is abstract. “Happiness, then, is the you-know-what-I-mean feeling” (35). The theory that language has the ability to express our emotions is mistaken, considering emotion is a “feeling, an experience, a subjective state, and thus it has no objective referent in the physical world” (34).
