Seneca, Lucius Annaeus (ca. 4 BC-65 AD), besides being an essayist and playwright, he was also a philosopher-a stoic. Although Seneca was born in Cordoba (southern Spain) he was a Roman citizen since the Roman Empire extended throughout Spain.

Becoming Nero’s right-hand man, he was the virtual ruler of the great Roman Empire. As a writer he is now remembered for his philosophical essays, including the Epistulae morales (Moral Letters), and his dramas.

In addition was a recognized rhetorician. And this is evident in all his writings which are fraught with essay writing tips as well as story writing tips. All his writing was in Latin, but there are many fine translations in English.

Most of his works -in particular his tragedies composed with themes from Greek mythology- were in vogue and much read during the Renaissance. Because of his popularity, he exerted great influence on European drama. His plays are characterized by a particular obsession with horror for its own sake and the ordinary use of the condensed, pithy, usually moralistic sayings.

Seneca left a brief work, a type of satire, in which he mocked and scorned the deification of Claudius. From the title -Apocolocyntosis- readers could infer that the dead emperor Claudius had been transformed, not into a god, but into a pumpkin.

Like many other powerful men who climb to the heights of power, Seneca was accused of treason and a fall from grace ensued, ending with his death when he was forced to commit suicide in AD 65.

During the time that Seneca enjoyed power, he also acquired great wealth. In fact, it is recorded that he was the richest man in the empire. As a final attempt to save his life, he offered his entire fortune for his life-in vain. In the end he lost his wealth as well as his life.

His death is described in the annals of the Roman historian Tacitus.

Sentences Openers for fiction

In chapter 9 of Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen opens a paragraph with the following sentence:

Had she found Jane in any apparent danger, Mrs. Bennet would have been very miserable; but being satisfied on seeing her that her illness was not alarming, she had no wish of her recovering immediately, as her restoration to health would probably remove her from Netherfield.

As sentence openers, reversals can be quite effective as readers, is in a way, are compelled to translate the sentence mentally for the correct meaning. The reversal ‘had she found’ —where the verb is placed before the subject— has exactly the same meaning as using the conditional ‘If.’ Should the author had simply used the normal syntax order (‘If she had found …’), that would have beenequivalent to the reader being told something which requires no effort on their part.

In addition, master writers know that by altering the syntax it forces readers to think. When we rearrange furniture in a particular room, people are bound to think that something is out of the ordinary, that something has been moved, or rearranged.

In her textbook Toolbox for Writers, Mary Duffy says that the successful writers know how to use ‘sentence openers’ to avoid writing soporific prose.

Reversals, then, are a convenient way of writing vigorous, athletic prose. Why is this so? Simply because it breaks the pattern of continuously using the boring pattern: ‘subject-verb-object.’

If you’re like me, when I decided to start writing, I had no idea how to get started. None of my friends knew either; no one in my family knew anything about this vocation. There was no course books to teach me the technique–I mean no accessible courses for a beginner like me. Most books are filled with high abstract words and jargon that discourages beginners rather than encourage them. I have a wall-shelf unit filled with books that were a hindrance rather help.

I wanted a book that was easy to understand and that I could follow step by step instructions written specifically for a beginner.–no such luck!

I also wanted to learn how to tell stories to all kinds of audiences, and not be limited to children, young adults, adults, chic-lit, etc. I spent long hours looking for one such tutorial without luck.

Let philosophers look for the substance that underlies all of creation; that is the unreduced element of matter. Let mathematicians, astronomer, biologists, and physicists construct axioms and build a cosmos and so interpret reality within their limited models. Let linguists search for the Adamic language–but let master writers be free.

The fiction and non-fiction writer must be free to explore the depths of humanity. D. H. Lawrence said, “Being a novelist, I consider myself superior to the saint, the scientist, the philosopher and the poet. The novel is the one bright book of life.”

Yet, as disparate and chaotic as fine writers might seem to be, we can see that there’s some method to their madness. Master writers will tell the reader what their novel is about right from the very beginning; they may not say it openly, but the hint is there for the reader to catch.

Tongue in cheek: Opening Sentence

Whether we like it or not sometimes we just have to go on reading as we ask ourselves, “Where’s this going to?” If Jane Austen in her opening sentence of Pride and Prejudice uses the language of axioms and mathematics -”a truth universally acknowledged”- we have no choice but to assume that she is being not only lighthearted but also playful.

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”

Right away we feel that the novel will be humorous, light, and that the main theme will be about fortune and marriage.

A Sunday sermon: An opening Sentence

Having written his masterpiece, Ana Karenina, Tolstoy proceeds to write an opening sentence that would encapsulate what the long monster of a novel will be about. This is opening sentence what he came up with:

“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”

And unhappy families are the main attraction. I can just hear Tolstoy saying, “Anyone can write about happy families; there’s nothing interesting about them. But since unhappy families are unique in their own ill-fortunes-let’s be on our way, let me tell you about the Oblonsky’s, the Levin’s, and the Karenina’s.”

More than a dream-a nightmare: A masterful opening sentence

The Colombian novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez once declared that Kafka’s opening of his novelette The Metamorphosis, convinced him that he could write equally –if not better– fantastic stories.

To dare to write the following sentence opener and book opener, Kafka must have felt total intellectual freedom:

“When Gregor Samsa woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous vermin.”

Lesser writers beg for the readers’ indulgence and suspension of disbelief. Faced with the problem of verisimilitude most fiction writers agonize over this speed bump. Not Kafka. With one stroke of the pen he dunks his readers into the depths of a hellish nightmare.

A flash-forward and a flashback:A Violent Sentence Opening

Years of solitude, firing squads, colonels, the Buendias, ice, fathers, and distant afternoons is what Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude is about.

“Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.”

Master writers distinguish between sentence openers, sentence openings, and first sentences. To ignore these basic concepts can only work to the detriment of the writer’s creation.

Leo Tolstoy

A good writer should have a good understanding of the different ways in which an essay or any straight piece of prose may be started. The terms listed below have their own independent meaning and may not be used interchangeably; they each have a specific function as discussed in separate articles (see the right sidebar).

• Key sentence
• Topic sentence
• Opening sentence
• First sentence
• Sentence openers
• Key sentence
• Introductory sentence

What are introductory sentences?
Introductory sentence are general sentences that open paragraphs and usually precede the topic sentence. Writers use them to provide background about the topic or main idea. Yet unlike topic sentences, introductory sentences are not developed throughout the paragraph.

What is the main function of introductory sentences?

Think of your introductory sentence as a hook that draws your reader in. It should be an attention grabber; much like the red cape a matador waves in front of the 800-pound reluctant bull. Clever writers use personal anecdotes, startling and outrageous information, jokes, and surprising quotations.

Two memorable patterns of introductory sentences:

Charles Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …

President Clinton’s years were the best of economic times, and the worst of scandalous times…

Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina: Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. ” …

Happy tyrants are all alike; every unhappy despot is unhappy in hts own way.

As you can see, both Dickens and Tolstoy used the rhetorical figure antithesis as introductory sentences. Antithesis allows writers to elaborate opposites to make sense by way of contrast and comparison.
