The hook that opened the paragraph was interesting, but further in, Brecht’s poem was introduced then left without sufficient analysis or an explicit statement of the theme that I would be connecting to the memoir.
By Including a small summary in the beginning I was able to inform my audience about the situation and purpose of the essay.
