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 to 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.)
