A thesis must present something worth writing about. If the topic has been written about a million times before, is it necessarily significant? A thesis must also be debatable. Thesis statements are not facts. If there is no opposing viewpoint to your thesis statement, then it isn’t a thesis statement. Another important element that must be considered with thesis statements is if they are limited enough for the purpose. Whether or not a thesis is limited is determined by the scope of the project. A particular thesis might be inappropriate for a five-page paper but completely appropriate for a 50-page paper. “Limited” must be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Hiya! A thesis statement should be significant, because it gets the reader interested! It should be debatable so you can show other points of views and show what view you like the most. Lastly, it should be limited so you don't tell everything all at once. Good-Luck! c:
