    Punctuation in the penultimate sentence is very awkward, imo. Better to start new sentence after 'India and Pakistan', as having all those commas after the colon is a little confusing and just sounds wrong.

      That's always the hardest part, writing a concise introduction to effectively present your thesis.

      Much harder than writing the body of the essay.

        Personally, introductions have never presented much of a problem. It's the actual essay I tend to have difficulty with...run out of steam after the first few paragraphs (precisely what is happening at the minute )

          Same here. I'm writing an essay on the history of UN peacekeeping and I've hit a block, not helped by the fact that I don't really have the right books to enable me to write it.

              This is not a problem when you aren't required to cite sources.

              Heck, in my last sociology work (23 pages explaining that computer-nerds aren't like the general population), I knew from the beginning what I wanted to say. The biggest problem was to find books to make it look scientific

                It certainly doesn't help.
