The Thesis Statement
A good thesis statement is specific, clear, and concise.
Making your thesis statement clear stops the reader from getting bored. Use clear, simple language to keep them interested.
Here is an example of a thesis statement: Potato chips make the perfect snack because they’re crunchy, they’re satisfyingly salty, and they come in many flavors.
Notice how the thesis has the word “because” and applies the rule of three. It provides three reasons to support the "because." This later becomes the topic sentence for each of your body paragraphs.
Directions:
Write your thesis statement for your Romeo and Juliet essay below.
Let's break down your thesis to make sure you're on the right track.
What is a thesis statement designed to do?
What is a common mistake when writing a thesis?
Write the thesis statement for your essay below
Type below the name of the person you are blaming for the death of Romeo and Juliet.
Example: Paris
Write Reason #1 for blaming your character (this should not include any analysis—just a simple version of why this person is to blame)
Example: Paris tried to marry Juliet without asking Juliet first.
Write Reason #2 for blaming your character (this should not include any analysis—just a simple version of why this person is to blame)
Example: Paris wanted to rush Juliet's father into allowing the marriage to Juliet.
Write Reason #3 for blaming your character (this should not include any analysis—just a simple version of why this person is to blame)
Example: Paris ignored Juliet's emotional distress over Tybalt’s death
Now, add all of your pieces together to get your final thesis statement.
Blank #1: the person you're blaming
Blank #2: the first reason for blame (only include the reason, as you already said the name of your character)
Blank #3: the second reason for blame (only include the reason, as you already said the name of your character)
Blank #4: the final reason for blame (only include the reason, as you already said the name of your character)
Finally, rewrite your thesis statement using what you've pieced together above and submit.
