      A thesis statement focuses your ideas into one or two sentences. It should present the topic of your paper and also make a comment about your position in relation to the topic. Your thesis statement should tell your reader what the paper is about and also help guide your writing and keep your argument focused.

      Examples, quotes. Then use multiple unnecessarily placed sentences concerning said examples and quotes building on them to make clearer to a reader what you meant in those examples and quotes. Its great filler for long essays and teachers enjoy seeing a student make a effort to make a novice reader understand what it is that they are writing about.

I’m a good writer and I love to read but if I don’t enjoy the book whatsoever I’m not reading it. Sorry that I broke the system and know how to please teachers

      @lindseyideus8742 8 лет назад +36

      Bri Zm It's not. Because she wrote a list with the right punctuation. Like semi-colon,( ; ), and as well as commas.( , )

    • @CuervoBoxingTalk
      @CuervoBoxingTalk 6 лет назад +11

      Yea it is too long. And has too much info about the book. But not enough.. it Should be more simple and less wordy. Semicolons are looked down on by the teachers at my school. This thesis makes me think too much. When i read something. I like it to flow.

    • @Bellawhite1
      @Bellawhite1 6 лет назад +3

      Bri Zm, there needs to be a period or semicolon after the word angel. I still think the video is an excellent learning tool, and she gave great examples.

    • @erikasagastume9384
      @erikasagastume9384 6 лет назад +1

      no there doesn't because "as Hester moves... 'angel'" is actually a clause and without what comes after it it wouldn't be a sentece.

    Thank you, this was very helpful! Also, if it's not too much to ask, can you make a video about the body paragraph in the same step-by-step method that you did for the thesis statement? I checked out the video for body paragraphs but I needed more. It would be helpful if you did the method where you gave a question and then you showed an exemplar of how you answered the question in the body paragraph. Thanks again for this video, it is awesome!
    BTW, is it possible for you to do a video on how to succeed in reading comprehension because I swear that is like the main adversity in my life. Once again, thank you very, very much!

    (Or any English writing professor/teacher):
    Kindly answer these questions:
    Q1: Most, if not all, Op-Ed columnists or
    essayists are merely summarizing
    and paraphrasing everything that they have read
    without citation. Is not that considered
    plagiarism?
    Q2: What is NOT considered plagiarism?
    Thanks!

    I feel like everyone (in my last class) always talked about agency. What are some other key topics that we can write an essay on?
    I know some being... power struggles, gender roles, revenge (or coping)....
