This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Read To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee
Atticus explains to Scout that the town authorities
bend the law for the Ewell family because they'll
never change their ways; for instance, Mr. Ewell
can...
shoot firearms within the town limits.
burn trash in his back yard.
hunt out of season.
fish without a license.
Answer: hunt out of season.
Explanation:
Atticus explains that the town has lost any hope in the Ewell family following the rules. Bob Ewell is allowed to hunt out of season, and his kids are allowed to skip school.
Despite the Ewell family being described as constantly ignoring the rules throughout the book, Bob´s hunting is depicted as justified because it´s the only way he can feed his family.
This is an example of foreshadowing. <span />
The correct answer is A: Three major themes of Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter are sin, forgiveness, and past vs. present.
Remember that a thesis statement is a one-sentence summary of an essay's main ideas. Because it is a summary, it should give a clear overview of the paper's main points.
Answer B does not fit this criteria -- what, specifically, is the symbolism the paper will discuss? This statement does not say; therefore, it is not an acceptable thesis.
Answer C is a question; therefore, it is automatically not a thesis statement.
Answer D sounds good, but it's either not a thesis for an informative paper or it is an analysis that should come somewhere later in a paper. It doesn't summarize the main points of the paper; it only draws a conclusion.
Answer A is the best answer. Notice that it names both the author and the title of the work being discussed, and it provides an oveview of the paper's main points. This thesis says it will discuss three themes and then specifically lists those themes. This is a good thesis for an informative paper.
Therefore, Answer A is the best thesis statement for an informative speech.
