Is Your Thesis Evolving?

In this article many different ways in which a thesis can evolve were outlined. However, something that really stood out to me was the list of steps that one should take in order to evolve a thesis throughout one's either paper. These steps were essentially telling the writer to start off with a basic thesis that outlines the statement which the writer is trying to make about what ever the paper may be about. Then after this, through the use of additional information that might not essentially fit your thesis, the writer will begin to tell the audience how this information doesn't fit the thesis and the writer will then tailor the thesis until, by the end of the paper, it is as accurate as possible. Another interesting point I found in the article was the method of pitting one side against another and eventually becoming able to, through the use of evidence, to take away the validity or superiority of the opposing side. By doing this the thesis would become much more accurate by creating a tension between the two and allowing one side to win based on the amount of evidence you the writer provides. The difference between my thesis and the first exploratory draft is how well the summary of important points about the topic went until eventually the thesis was placed at the end of the intro. I had difficulty composing an introduction that would work as well as the one from the article that would allow the thesis to be well received by the audience. Hopefully I apply some of this information on theses in order to make the paper better over all.
