Explanation:

In composition, a title is a word or phrase given to a text (an essay, article, chapter, report, or other work) to identify the subject, attract the reader's attention, and forecast the tone and substance of the writing to follow.

A title may be followed by a colon and a subtitle, which usually amplifies or focuses the idea expressed in the title.

Examples and Observations

"It is important to know the title before you begin—then you know what you are writing about." (Nadine Gordimer, quoted by D. J. R. Bruckner in "A Writer Puts the Political Above the Personal." The New York Times, Jan. 1, 1991)

"The title comes afterwards, usually with considerable difficulty. . . . A working title often changes." (Heinrich Böll, interview in The Paris Review, 1983)

Catching the Reader's Interest

"At the minimum, titles—like labels—should accurately indicate the contents in the package. In addition, however, good titles capture the reader's interest with some catchy phrasing or imaginative language—something to make the reader want to 'buy' the package. Barbara Kingsolver uses the title, 'High Tide in Tucson' to catch our interest: What are tides doing in landlocked Tucson, Arizona? Samuel H. Scudder's title is a good label (the essay is about looking at fish) and uses catchy phrasing: 'Take This Fish and Look at It.'" (Stephen Reid, The Prentice Hall Guide for College Writers, 2003)

Tips for Creating Catchy Titles

"Titles catch the attention of readers and provide a clue to the paper's content. If a title doesn't suggest itself in the writing of your paper, try one of these strategies:

Use one strong short phrase from your paper

Present a question that your paper answers

State the answer to the question or issue your paper will explore

Use a clear or catchy image from your paper

Use a famous quotation

Write a one-word title (or a two-word title, a three-word-title, and so on)

Begin your title with the word On

Begin your title with a gerund (-ing word)" (Toby Fulwiler and Alan R. Hayakawa, The Blair Handbook. Prentice Hall, 2003)

Metaphorical Titles

"Is there a factor that above all others contributes to making a title intriguing and memorable? I've studied the titles that have captured the public imagination during my lifetime. Add to The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, The Red Badge of Courage, and The Blackboard Jungle the following titles that almost everyone seems to like, and ask yourself what they have in common:

Tender Is the Night

A Moveable Feast

The Catcher in the Rye

The Grapes of Wrath

All seven of these titles are metaphors. They put two things together that don't ordinarily go together. They are intriguing, resonant, and provide exercise for the reader's imagination." (Sol Stein, Stein on Writing. St. Martin's Griffin, 1995)
