Kavitha and Mustafa

 In the story Kavitha and Mustafa, I think the first couple of sentences set the tone for the rest of the story. Also, it gives the reader a sense of the environment, and setting. "He stepped inside, holding a machete by his side, by the handle, swinging it like a spray of flowers." The details in the first couple of paragraphs of this story, gives the reader a very strong image in there head. I haven't read the entire story, but as a reader it makes me want to read more. The vivid details, and the way the author sets the tone for the entire story is very captivating as a reader. The author used the introduction as an attention getting opening, for me as a reader after reading only the first couple of paragraphs I already want to keep going until the end. As a writer, I find that its important for the first couple of sentences and paragraphs to grab the readers attention. I think that if you can't grab the readers attention in the first couple of sentences than the reader won't have the willpower to keep on reading until the end.
