Thesis help? 

READ FIRST

What is a thesis?

Restated topic (look at the prompt) + what you are proving in your paragraph (what is it asking you to do?). 

Sample one: 

In Roald Dahl’s short story “The Landlady” and Frank Capra’s Arsenic and Old Lace, the writers use foreshadowing, a literary technique that provides hints at what is to come in the story, to create suspense in similar ways. 

Sample two: 

In Dahl’s “The Landlady” and Capra’s Arsenic and Old Lace, the authors created protagonists that are nothing alike. 

At the end of the paragraph (after you have Pee’d 4 times):

Conclude:  Restate the thesis you originally wrote.

Sample one restated: 

In conclusion, both stories use foreshadowing to cause suspense and create a sense of creepiness in their stories. 

Sample two restated: 

The protagonists Billy Weaver and Mortimer Brewster, even though they are both main characters, are nothing alike physically, emotionally, or how they relate to others.
