Thesis Evolve

One aspect of a thesis that I did not know was that it should not be obvious to the readers. I thought that the thesis was just a summary of your paper and a main idea. Another thing that I did not know about making a thesis is that is should not be a fact and should actually make the readers question it. I found it interesting that in order to think of a good thesis you should question the material you are writing a paper on. Also, I think its interesting that in a thesis statement there should be two ideas that cause tension and the writer has to argue that the one point is better than the other. I really found the analogy of the thesis being a lens interesting. It made sense how they said, "the thesis directs the writers way of looking at evidence and the analysis of evidence should also direct the thesis." My thesis is different than that of the example because I do not make my thesis statements as generalized. One aspect of my writing that I struggle with is coming up with the so what? In this example the writer clearly states a so what at the beginning and then goes on to explain it. Another reason why the example is different than my writing is because when I describe observations I exaplain them and do not leave them undeveloped. I also struggle with staying to one thesis throughout the paper just like the example.
