NOTES ABOUT THESIS STATEMENTS

Keep these things in mind when writing a thesis statement:
         
YOUR THESIS SHOULD INCLUDE INFORMATION ON YOUR CHARACTER AND WHAT THE CHARACTER LEARNS FROM HIS OR HER JOURNEY.

1.                 A thesis is NOT the whole essay; a thesis is the main idea, often expressed in a single sentence.
2.                 A thesis can also be thought of as the main argument of your paper
3.                 A thesis should NOT be a laundry list of your main points
4.                 It should merely set up the topic and give any general information the listener needs to know.
5.                 Every topic paragraph should clearly support your thesis – create strong links that return to what you are explaining throughout your paper.
