Neville Stack wrote an article on the art of writing (pun!) in Today.
What's written in an intro can actually be in a conclusion. His daughter wrote this on the founding of America: The Pilgrim Fathers sailed away. Then she wrote this as the conclusion: Horray. This is usually part of the body, as a feeling felt by the character. It can be interpreted as that of joy or sarcasm. See the innovation displayed by such a child?
She has given relativity to the rules governing the style of writing essays. She has used her young creative mind to give new insights into what's old and fixed.
He gives a few quotes from literary texts to illustrate his point. I'm intrigued by George Orwell's intro to 1984: 'It was a bright cold day in April and the clocks were striking thirteen.' To me, the latter part of the quote brings out the sci-fi genre of the text and an out-of-this-world perspective as I peruse the book.
