Developing a Thesis
Exlpain and Define
Your thesis in an essay is the part that lays out the rest of the work for your reader, and basically simplifies what you are about to say. It is vital to have a well developed thesis for your paper to be successful. A thesis should cover a few things; your stance on the topic, your argument as to why, and the points you will be making. It is also important that your thesis catches your reader's attention, because it is one of the first things they will read. Remember that a thesis is not an opinion, a topic, or a fact- it is an argument.
