How to write a thesis statement for a compare and contrast essay?

natulia [17]

Answer:

Well in short, your thesis must address the comparison. 2) Your thesis (and essay) should stay within the parameters of the question or prompt. An essay on the Columbian exchange should not deal with the Swahili Coast of Africa . 3) Next, your thesis should state an opinion.
