I need a good hook sentence.

So, I am doing the following prompt, for the book Of Mice and Men :

“which Character best represents the idea of things not working out the way a person wants theme to”

My Thesis, which has to be my last sentence in the introduction paragraph is:

Curley represents the idea of things not working out because of his small size, lonely wife, and his problems with the other guys on the ranch.”

The other paragraphs I don’t need help on, I just need a good beginning hook sentence.

it’s written way, waaayyy too informally. ‘the other guys on the ranch’, for example.

try putting the ’small size’ and ‘lonely wife’ etc before you mention his name; ‘with his small size … curley represents …’

if that makes sense

“Curley represents the idea of not getting what you want as he is small, has a lonely wife, and does not get along wit the other people at the ranch.”

something like:
“There are many characters in the novel: “Of mice and men”, but the one that best represents the idea of things not working out the way a person wants them to is the Character “Curley”.” (then go on with the reasons)?
can you talk in first person?
like; “I think he is the best example….”
or does it have to be like “he is the best example because….”

OK gave it a bit of thought.

Curley is representative of the overwhelming size of the entire problem, his difficult social interactions and failing union with his spouse only serve to highlight his diminutive stature in his own mind.

(That is the rubbish I would have written at school)- Mas

Brilliant. Puffing up basic ideas with loads of words is the path to success. Seriously.
