    How to write a strong title for an essay that actually makes people want to read it.

    The pun title: "The Fault in Our Stars: A Close Reading" is fine. It's a pun but it's also literally about the book. Works. The bad pun: "Star-Crossed Lovers or Star-Crossed Plot?" That's trying too hard. You can feel the writer stretching. Rule of thumb: if you have to explain why it's...
