Seeing as how I already know how to put together a thesis stamen,
I found chapter 11 to be yet another review in this book. A thesis statement is
your opening comment, it will tell whoever is reading your essay what the essay
is about. If the essay is a persuasive essay then the thesis will tell the
reader what side you are on and if the essay is a about a general idea then the
thesis needs to state what that idea is clearly enough for the reader to understand
it. To make a thesis statement you need to have all of your information or enough
information gathered to make a general idea of what you are writing about. Develop
your topic fully then review your data to get a good picture of what you will
write your topic sentence on. The thesis statement should be an attention grabber,
it should get the reader to want to read your essay and be intrigued by it. If
a thesis statement runs flat or is uninteresting it will affect how the reader
feels about the paper as a whole. If the paper is a persuasive essay and the
thesis statement is unengaging it will affect if the reader actually gets
persuaded by it. If the paper is a general essay or is informing the reader
about something, the thesis will decide of the reader even wants to learn what
you have to say. All in all the thesis is a big deal and can make or break an
essay.
