Making a Thesis Evolve
The statement that stood out the most to me was the definition of a strong thesis. It isn't immediately obvious to your audience, and the more complex it is, the more accurate it will become. When I think about my first thesis in comparison to my final one, it definitely evolved. My first thesis was mediocre and generic (teenagers are repressed by authority figures and are not given due attention). At the time, I thought it was pretty good, and for all intensive purposes, it was because it led to my final thesis. My final thesis was much more complicated and sounds much bolder (high school is a process of purification in America). After my thesis evolved, it became something that was not immediately obvious to my audience (my video was "Teenagers" by My Chemical Romance). As for the sample paper, one major similarity I had was starting out with background information. I only gave a little background information because I wasn't really sure what to write about in my introductory paragraph. My paper was pretty much the same (presenting evidence, asking "so what," etc.), but my organization was completely different.
