Well, you certainly have picked an excellent topic to look
into. There are plenty of examples for you to select from the novel that you can use to
support your main idea. However, your question asks for an opening statement, that I
guess you can use in your introduction. The key to writing a good introduction is coming
up with a kind of general statement that can hook in your readers and make them want to
read on, so what you have to try to do is come up with some kind of statement about the
process of maturing that will apply to your readers and engage them, encouraging them to
read on. How about the following example to give you some idea of what I am talking
about:
Every one of us goes through a gradual movement from
immaturity to maturity based on the situations in life that we meet and have to come to
terms with. Of course, often the situations that make us grow up most are sad or
difficult ones, and this is certainly the case when we think of how Jem matures in
To Kill a Mockingbird.
You can see how
I have started the essay with a sentence that relates to everyone, and then linked it in
to the topic of your essay. You now need to include a brief outline of your major points
and then you have your introduction! Good luck.
