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.)
