Okay, so there are actually 4 steps to write a theses statement.
#1 - State your topic. Your topic is the essential idea of your paper.......
#2 - State your main idea about this topic.......
#3 - Write three reasons that support your idea.........
#4 - Include an opposing viewpoint to your main idea if applicable........
I won't give the answers, but by reading this, I believe if you have to do these separate, the issue would more than likely be the topic, and then you would give the three reasons which would be in the "Claims" section. Remember you have to write (3) reasons. If you don't know what #4 means, it just means a point of view that is the opposite of, or contrary to, one's own viewpoint. For example, one person's point of view may be that no homework should be assigned in school. The opposing viewpoint would be that homework should be assigned in school.
Good luck! :P
If you still need help just let me know. :)
The number of words in the poem
Advanced Composition' and Occasion-Sensitivity Further, people read for two reasons: entertainment or information. [ A writer who confuses, bores, or threatens the reader, "has lost that reader, usually for good." Earlier, Donald Murray's indispensable A Writer Teaches Writing (1968) focuses firmly on the target-audience. So writers, and now textbooks, embrace this pragmatism. Do the nation's writing classrooms, secondary and even collegiate, follow suit? Quite possibly not, which may suggest that advanced composition may often have a mandate to emphasize sensitivity to occasion as the keystone skill in real-world writing which it in fact is. My own foray into freelance writing in particular?77 articles in five years, but not without initial stumbles?taught me that real-world writing in general is varied, difficult, possible, necessary, satisfying. I now feel obligated to impart some of this perspective to my advanced writing students especially. ]
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
