I know what I go to pick up a book, I judge it by it cover. I know that's wrong, but the visual aid is always appealing to a person, no matter what. But sometimes I give it a second chance, and I'll read the beginning. This attracts me also to the book. The ending though, is what will decide whether I enjoyed the book or not. It may make me mad, because it didn't end the way I wanted it to, or maybe make me happy because it was a perfect ending. I find that usually the ending is the best part because it leaves you satisfied. The beginning fits in the big picture of things. It introduces, explains, and informs your audience about the story you are about to tell. The ending though, can then summerize the whole text itself. It can end in many ways such as, referring to the beginning, tieing up loose ends, giving the audience something to think about, or restating the main point. The beginning and end will determine whether or not the audience things this book is readable.
As a reader, and as many others, I want to be guided through a text I am reading. Ways to guide your reader would have to be throught titles, theses statements, topic sentences, and transitions. A title serves a purpose and names a text. Thesis statements identifies the topic of the text and the claim you are trying to make. Topic sentences are similar to thesis statements, in that they are announcing the topic and purpose, but it states the subject and focus on that certain paragraph. And lastly, a transition help the readers move from each thought to thought, sentence, paragraph, etc.
