A thesis statement is a summary of the main claim made in the text. Good questions to ask include....
- Is it consise? (To the point, straightforward)
- Does bring the parts of the essay together (does it bridge the beginning, middle and end into a common theme?)
- Does it reflect the type of essay you are writing? (for example, an argumentative thesis for an argumentative essay)
- Does it accurately reflect the main point of the essay (could readers see the thesis alone and know exactly what the essay will be about, or is it too incoherent or thin on detail?)
Hope this helps!
I would say that punctuation, ie a comma , would precede the block quotation to set it apart and then quotation marks would be used to show that it is a quotation, both at the beginning and end of the passage. Quotations are good to show exactly what the author quoted meant so there is no doubt and which can then be accurately commented on.
A historical account or biography written from personal knowledge or special sources.
