Have anyone come across being asked to write thesis statement?
It is not a topic....
Thesis statement!
Taking this course, i have to start to think of thesis statements
Thesis statement is a sentence that tells people the content of a writing. It has to simple, clear and understandable...
Writing a thesis statement is not as simple as just popping out a sentence that cross into the mind. For instance, we cannot just say our writing will be about love and just give a sentence like "love is blind"
The thesis statement has to be specific and justified. it should not be a general statements. This is due to that a general statement provides a large area to write on... it will have no boundaries to stop. It will have a wide range of points to insert in the writing.
Thesis statement acts as a guide for writer. It should help in keeping the writer focus on the writing and does not stray around without directions. It helps writer to develop points that related to the topic focus. For instance, in literature, writer wants to focus on the a character's character traits, hence in the thesis statement there should have a specific character writer want to focus at, then the content should just surrounding the character.
By learning ways to work out a best thesis statement, it needs choice of words and wisdom to develop one. it needs to look into the purpose of this piece of writing. this is because, every piece of writing focus on different purposes, for instance writing for pleasure, reports, essays, research and story telling.
In conclusion, writing a thesis statement tests a person's patient. most of the time, i have to rewrite and rephrase and reconstruct. it takes time, but i believe, once a person master the way for thesis statement, it should not be a matter anymore.
