Essays / How to start essay about fame gained from the internet (Facebook Founder) [3]
Yes I agree, the idea is there, but you just need to develop it. Not to be a grammar Nazi, but the thesis should also be in present tense, not past tense. Here are some tips I found helpful throughout my college classes:
Thesis needs to say something; don't say "what" - make sure you explain "why" as well.
* Thesis to directly answer the prompt/question being asked.
* Formulaic thesis repeats the prompt/question right back into the thesis.Massage the formula to be creative and lend your own voice.
* Thesis is NEVER a question; it is a STATEMENT.
* Thesis can be more than one sentence; all depends on situation and assignment.
* Thesis is backbone of your paper, the anchor of what you're saying. Think of your body with no spine; that is an argument with no thesis.
* Without a thesis, your paper will float adrift and be lost upon the audience. Give them the pathway to chart your argument clearly!
* Thesis must come early and be direct/clear - preferably end of first section/paragraph.
