This is true. A thesis statement is you opinion. This means that not everyone will agree with your opinion. For example:
Smoking should be illegal because it is unhealthy, costly, and an annoyance.
Though you supported your opinion, someone who enjoys smoking may say that it is not costly or annoying. This is why a thesis statement is controversial.
this is true as well the text is addressing a specific person or group

Your Excellency Sir.
PAYMENT OF STUDENTS SSCE REGISTRATION.
I hereby write to you in respect of your proposed intention to stop the payment of students SSCE examination in the state.
Firstly, I would like to use this opportunity to bring to your notice your excellency Sir, According to Fredrick Douglass, educated people are unfit to be a slave, A man of knowledge knows what he wants in life and how to go about getting it. It is practically impossible to enslave an educated man. His excellency sir, I’m sure you don’t want our young populations to be slave fit.
Secondly, The parents of some of these students you pay for their SSCE exams are not economically buoyant, which can result to the children dropping out of school. People often say readers are leaders, this is an opportunity to train the young population to take up the mantle of this state in the near future, uneducated people are unfit to paddle the affairs of the state in the future, I would like to plead with you to continue educating the potential leaders of tomorrow.
Thirdly, we have several social problems we are dealing with already in the state today, stopping this payment would have an effect in the state by spurring more difficult social problems in the state. Some potential scholars would be on the street creating nuisance because of their lack of adequate education.
Your excellency sir, I would like to plead with you not to stop the payment of the students SSCE exam. kindly be assured of our continuous corporation and support for the work and progress, peace and unity of our dear state and the country at large.
Yours Sincerely,
Hero Heroine
<span>Read the passage and write a one-paragraph response of at least three to five sentences.
A man stood upon a railroad bridge in northern Alabama, looking down into the swift water twenty feet below. The man's hands were behind his back, the wrists bound with a cord. A rope closely encircled his neck. It was attached to a stout cross-timber above his head and the slack fell to the level of his knees. Some loose boards laid upon the sleepers supporting the metals of the railway supplied a footing for him and his executioners-two private soldiers of the Federal army, directed by a sergeant who in civil life may have been a deputy sheriff. At a short remove upon the same temporary platform was an officer in the uniform of his rank, armed. He was a captain. A sentinel at each end of the bridge stood with his rifle in the position known as "support," that is to say, vertical in front of the left shoulder, the hammer resting on the forearm thrown straight across the chest-a formal and unnatural position, enforcing an erect carriage of the body. It did not appear to be the duty of these two men to know what was occurring at the center of the bridge; they merely blockaded the two ends of the foot planking that traversed it.
Beyond one of the sentinels nobody was in sight; the railroad ran straight away into a forest for a hundred yards, then, curving, was lost to view. Doubtless there was an outpost farther along. The other bank of the stream was open ground-a gentle acclivity topped with a stockade of vertical tree trunks, loopholed for rifles, with a single embrasure through which protruded the muzzle of a brass cannon commanding the bridge. Midway of the slope between the bridge and fort were the spectators-a single company of infantry in line, at "parade rest," the butts of the rifles on the ground, the barrels inclining slightly backward against the right shoulder, the hands crossed upon the stock. A lieutenant stood at the right of the line, the point of his sword upon the ground, his left hand resting upon his right.
Excepting the group of four at the center of the bridge, not a man moved. The company faced the bridge, staring stonily, motionless. The sentinels, facing the banks of the stream, might have been statues to adorn the bridge. The captain stood with folded arms, silent, observing the work of his subordinates, but making no sign. Death is a dignitary who when he comes announced is to be received with formal manifestations of respect, even by those most familiar with him. In the code of military etiquette silence and fixity are forms of deference.
