Is your thesis evolving?

While reading this chapter what really stood out to me was how the thesis actually evolves. You can start out with a thesis in the beginning of the paper and then by using the evidence your thesis just gains momentum and by the end you can somewhat reword your thesis with more power because of the evidence you used to support it. One of the main points that I noticed was the section on what a good thesis statement looks like. Reading how to "put one possible point of view against another" made me see how to really kick off a paper. By doing that you create areas for you to explore right off the bat without even having to face "writers block." Another main point that grabbed my attention was that you shouldn't look for a thesis in your readymade material you are analyzing. It says to starting asking questions about the material deliberately lookin for a place where you detect some kind of problem to be solved. This made me understand that I need to take a step back and find out what my arguement is not simply rewording a sentence that I placed in my opening paragraph. My writing was similar to the student draft by having a thesis statement appear toward the end. My opening thesis was clear to me when I began drafting but by the time I was finished it blew me away how I tied everything together in the end just from the flow of my paper and the evidence that all led to a certain point in the end. The student used "i believe" to begin the flow of some of their sentences which greatly differed from my paper. I understood that my audience knew that these were my beliefs and didn't need to restate them.
