Thesis statement

     The thesis statement sets the stage for the entire essay.  It reveals what topics the essay will cover.  The thesis statement "provides focus to your essay" (50) and "provides form and structure to your argument" (50).  It is crucial to keep your essay in line with the thesis statement, otherwise the essay would be rendered unstable.  Readers would be left confused and mislead. Staying consistent with the thesis statement is one of the key elements to a clear essay.

  1. I love how you used quotes from the book to call back upon the basis of your opinion. You're so calculated, I found it hilarious. This is well put together, very brief and strong :) Wicked Work
