Essays / College Essay - Fitting Multiple Themes into One Thesis Statement? [3]
Hi, I'm hoping that you guys can give me pointers on how to write a thesis statement for an in which the thesis is not simply a yes/no, and give evidence to support kind of question.
Basically, my professor wants me to put in the 4 different themes that were presented to us throughout the semester into a thesis statement. I've never really had a difficult time coming up with a thesis statement because the essays I've dealt with only had one idea presented to me (ex: Should the use of marijuana be illegal?). However, in this case, my professor wants me to rank the themes, and i'm not really sure how to do that since he isn't REALLY asking me a question... Below is what he wants me to do:
Question
Of the following themes listed below, rank them in order from the most to least prominent as featured in the art you have experienced thus far into the semester. (You must address all the themes in your essay.) Explain the rationale behind your ranking.
THEMES:
a) Feeling alienated in a new cultural environment
b) Constructing an "Asian American identity"
c) Viewing the future with optimism
d) Responding to racism (including racist imaging via stereotyping)
