The thesis statement should include the basic summary of what you are writing, but not in a conclusion format. It should be why you write it, more of an argumentative statement than a reason for writing. It goes in the first paragraph of your essay. The thesis statement should be at most two sentences long.

A thesis statement focuses your ideas into one or two sentences. It should present the topic of your paper and also make a comment about your position in relation to the topic. Your thesis statement should tell your reader what the paper is about and also help guide your writing and keep your argument focused.

Which rhetorical device best describes the example shown?

astraxan [27]

The rhetorical device which best describes the example shown is; Choice C; Allusion.

<h3>Antithesis and Allusion as Rhetorical devices</h3>

Antithesis is used in literature in writing or speech either as a proposition that contrasts with or reverses some previously mentioned proposition, or when two opposites are introduced together for contrasting effect.

An allusion put simply, is when one hints at something and expect the other person to understand what we are referencing.

Hence, it follows particularly from the line; "You know Donna Weems as the Shakespeare of our school" that the rhetorical device is; Allusion.
