Thesis Blog

Thesis Statement Blog

These are my choices the weakest thesis statements:

Question 1: A. This thesis statement is very broad and vague. There are no specifics about what is going to be written about.

Question 2: A. This is also an extremely vague statement. There is no substance or base to form a debate over.

Question 3: B. This is common knowledge in the clothing industry. There is no fresh or creative view points to this statement.

Question 4: A. This is a nothing more than a short, short summary. There is nothing in this statement that is an arguable platform.

Question 5: A. This also feels like a summary instead of a thesis statement. It is based more on personal connection than an arguable stance.



My Question:
What makes Tim O’Brien’s writing style so unique?

My Thesis (Answer)
Tim O’Brien”s ability to exploit his poetic style of postmodern writing techniques is the reason “The Things They Carried” is a spellbinding treasure.

Answer to the questions about my thesis:
1.      This is an arguable statement. There are many views and opinions on Tim O’Brien’s style of writing.
2.      This thesis has a specific subject matter. It proclaims Tim O’Brien’s writing style as poetic postmodern is the reason his book is a good read.
3.      It can be supported from the writing in the text, and also the two reputable sources that were used for evidence.
