One of the essential elements of a sound essay is having an excellent thesis statement. The Windows to the World book defines a thesis as “the controlling idea of your essay.” which essentially means using the statement to set the direction and tone of the essay. This all important sentence allows the reader to understand where the paper will go, in a way, similar to a synopsis of your essay. Also the thesis sets the overall mood for the rest of the work. Basically the thesis statement is your entire essay condensed into one sentence.
Very well said. I completely agree that the thesis statement sets the tone of the essay. Great job Sam! :)
