Essays / College Essay - Fitting Multiple Themes into One Thesis Statement? [3]
I like your analogy of alchemy Kevin, thanks!
So basically, I would have about 4 body paragraphs, each giving evidence of the themes and why I feel that way (which should be the central thesis that sums up all the themes).
What I'm unsure about is whether a thesis statement can only be 1 sentence. Because in high school, I've always been taught that I should have 2-3 introduction sentences that lead into my thesis statement, which is 1 sentence long.
I'm just confused about how to form a thesis statement out of all this since my professor wants me to "rank" them. Right now, all I can think about is answering his question: ranking these themes in order... So my thesis would be "The most prominent would be A, followed by B, followed by C, and then D being the least prominent because ________." And then my body paragraphs would support the reason why.
Is there other way of going at it?
