An Irish novelist, James Joyce, has been recognized as one of the most creative writers who had a big impact on several parts of Irish society and the rest of the world, especially on
how we know about literature and cinema. He has been considered as a great writer due to his
complexity of the use of his language combined with different areas of knowledge, making his
pieces of writing unique and remarkable. Not only that he is well-known for the creation of the
unique masterpieces of writing, but his expert in film industry has also made him stand out
among all other experts in the same area.
James Joyce influenced literature in a way that inspires other authors to write more about
his topics. His excellence in choosing such interesting topics that are different from other
novelists, therefore, encourages many other authors to follow his ideas, which in turn affects how

Joyce was able to extend his composition by integrating it with a wide variety of his
intellectualism, such as philosophy, theology and foreign languages. As a result of these integrations, English literature had become what it is called “modern”, spreading its copies to
other countries not only in English speaking countries. The most well-know novel written by James Joyce was Ulysses. It is popular because he
chose to write ordinary events, such as a day in his life, and make those ordinary events become
a masterpiece. In Ulysses, James Joyce also described about self-consciousness, including

To connect the hook into thesis statement I decided to introduce the novelist James Joyce
as a creative writer who has enormously contributed to the cinema and literature. Even more,
the hook expounds on his great impact in the Irish society as well as the world at large. The
hook connects to the thesis statement which focuses on James Joyce writing and expertise,
(Cassiani & Konopacki, 2012).
The most challenging part of completing this essay was coming up with a hook that
attracts the attention of the reader; to ensure that he gets interested in my paper. Another
challenge was relating or connecting the hook to the thesis statement to ensure that the essay is
clear and concise. Therefore, coming up with a clear thesis statement was also a challenge;
