Great list. I think the "opening line" one is super underrated, and I love teaching great opening lines to my AP students. It's, in fact, something I'm going to write about in a future post.
Two of the best in my opinion are from Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea: "He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish."
And from Albert Camus' The Stranger: "Maman died today. Or yesterday maybe, I don’t know."

This is gold. Every single item on this list.

Solid list. A list to bookmark. A list to make into a bookmark.
