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.
