A sentence starts out like building a house. First you have to get the foundation and structure just right, however you don’t exactly know how the house is going to turn out in the end. The foundation and beginnings to the house are important for the rest for the rest of the house although many people don’t focus on the foundation or even see it. Similarly in a paper, the introduction is important in setting the tone and structures for how the rest of the paper is going to be.
I like the comparisons you've made, including the "laying a foundation," etc. The idea of construction or a structure is cliche, yes, but as discussed in class, sometimes its these cliches that we detest taht convey our ideas perfectly. That's, perhaps, part of the reason why they become cliches in the first place.
