I’m working on a writing multi-part question and need a sample draft to help me understand better.
Write a thesis statement about any of the following prompts
Create an MLA formatted document and include the following
- Indicate which prompt you chose
- Include your clearly labeled thesis statement (a response to the prompt question you chose)
- Include an explanatory note underneath your thesis that begins: What I want the reader to understand as a result of reading this literary analysis essay is…
- Conclude with an honest, direct assessment of your thesis draft (4 to 6 sentences) that evaluates your thesis draft based on the following four criteria:
- The narrowness of the FOCUS
-
- Does the thesis attempt to cover too broad a territory, or is it sufficiently narrow?
-
- The SPECIFICITY of the language
-
- How committed and specific and precise is the thesis language? Is the verb vague and noncommittal?
-
- The degree to which it is an ARGUABLE claim
-
- Is this thesis plot summary, description, or otherwise a statement of the obvious? Or does it make an interpretive claim that will facilitate an analytical argument?
-
- Whether it is a UNIFIED thesis
-
- Does it make a claim that is a singular idea, or is it a list of items?
-
- The narrowness of the FOCUS
