Is Your Thesis Evolving?

Something that stood out to me right away was the mention of how a thesis won't stay the same through revision. I know that through personal experience, my thesis has never stayed the same and with each draft it changes. Also I think the point being made that a thesis should not be predictable is important. As a reader you never want to read something expected. I agree that repetition is important, but sometimes it is hard to gauge if you are being too repetitive in your writing because then it starts to come off as boring. I think finding that balance of tying the evidence back to the thesis and just repeating your main points can be difficult. 
I think that the writing is similar to mine because it starts out with background information. I think that usually i start too broad with my writing and have trouble focusing in on something to argue about. Also, the writer seems to not fully answer the questions that are being brought up. I think that I also do this because I will form an idea but I will never fully say why it is important or how it ties back to the thesis. I think the writing is different than mine because it seems to flow better and sometimes I struggle with figuring out how to organize a paper in the most effective way possible.
