Thesis Statement Practice
First, review these guides to thesis statements in literary analysis essays:
- From UTA: Libguide on thesis statements Links to an external site.
- LibreText: Thesis statement guide Links to an external site.
Then, think about the stories we read in Module 2, and choose one story to focus on.
Now, consider these questions:
- How does the story define or depict what it means to grow up?
- According the story, what character trait or life lesson is essential to have in order to be an adult?
Write a thesis statement over the chosen story. Be sure it:
- Is one or two sentences long
- Meets the criteria for a thesis statement
- Includes the name of the story's author and title
You should avoid:
- Copy / pasting from other submissions
- Writing a summary of the story
- Conversational language (you, I, etc.)
