Entry #8: Thesis Statement
What is a Thesis Statement?
A THESIS STATEMENT is the specific claim that your essay supports. It tells your reader where you are going in your essay and how you plan on getting there. It usually appears at the end of the first paragraph of a paper. Furthermore, it should be specific to avoid talking about something without coming to the main point.
FIRST OF ALL... You should determine what kind of paper you are writing. It can be an analytical paper (It breaks down an issue), an expository paper (It explains something) or an argumentative paper (It justifies your opinion and tries to persuade the audience that your claim is true).
What are the parts of a Thesis Statement?
1. SUBEJCT/ TOPIC: It's what your paper will deal with
2. THE CLAIM: It's your opinion about the topic.
3. THE BLUEPRINT OF REASONS: This is where you show your reader HOW to plan to argue and prove your opinion. Typically, you should have three pieces of evidence to support your claim/opinion. The idea at this part is to persuade your readers about your claim.
