Rules for Writers Ch.52- response

In this chapter we learn about how to construct a well written thesis statement. Your thesis should focus on the central idea of your topic and is usually written at the end of the introductory paragraph. The thesis should give enough information to give the reader an idea on what they will be reading and grasp their attention to want to know more.

Once you construct your thesis, you should support your thesis by giving concrete evidence and organize it in a way that will ultimately support your point of view. We also want to include any arguments that are contrary to your thoughts to give the reader a better understanding of the topic and will ultimately help support the reader to be on your side.

After reading this chapter, I will make sure to construct an outline that centralizes on my thesis statement (main idea) and when writing the essay I will make sure that each paragraph will stay on topic to support the central idea. I will also make sure to include any contrary thoughts that can ultimately assist me with having the reader understand why I am writing about this.
