Thesis
The thesis of a paper is one of the main ways a reader gets interested in a paper, so it is very important to build a strong thesis in order to show the main points in a paper. Actually constructing the thesis may not even happen till the paper is completely done. The thesis is a connecting point for the reader of the main ideas of the paper. It is not a repetition of the main idea though either. One needs specific detail in your thesis to be able to analyze. Having the opposite view point of your thesis will help play off the preferred idea off the opposite. By starting the thesis statement off with although or while it seems, will create the tension in the thesis statement. With a list like description, one must be careful not to show their position on a idea when not necessary or needed. Leaving the interpretation up to the reader is the goal, instead giving the readers stand on a idea. Drawing conclusions is important, rather than just describing something and giving the details about it. Building the thesis up showing clear points is important at the beginning so the reader has better understanding of the paper. Mallory Parrish
