Formulating a Thesis

You need a good thesis statement for your essay but are having trouble getting started. You may have heard that your thesis needs to be specific and arguable, but still wonder what this really means.

Let’s look at some examples. Imagine you’re writing about John Hughes’s film Sixteen Candles (1984).

You take a first pass at writing a thesis:

Sixteen Candles is a romantic comedy about high school cliques.

Is this a strong thesis statement? Not yet, but it’s a good start. You’ve focused on a topic–high school cliques–which is a smart move because you’ve settled on one of many possible angles. But the claim is weak because it’s not yet arguable. Intelligent people would generally agree with this statement—so there’s no real “news” for your reader. You want your thesis to say something surprising and debatable. If your thesis doesn’t go beyond summarizing your source, it’s not arguable.

The key words in the thesis statement are “romantic comedy” and “high school cliques.” One way to sharpen the claim is to start asking questions.

For example, how does the film represent high school cliques in a surprising or complex way? How does the film reinforce stereotypes about high school groups and how does it undermine them? Or why does the film challenge our expectations about romantic comedies by focusing on high school cliques? If you can answer one of those questions (or others of your own), you’ll have a strong thesis.

Tip : Asking “how” or “why” questions will help you refine your thesis, making it more arguable and interesting to your readers.

1. List at least five descriptive words and phrases that Bradford uses to describe the
Aleks [24]

Answer and Explanation:

1. Bradford uses words like "savages", "cruel", "brutal", "barbarians" and "treacherous". He says that one of the biggest challenges to establish in America would be to live “in continual danger of the savage people who are cruel, barbarious, and most treacherous”

2. This position of Bradford in relation to the indigenous people shows a negative connotation of the indigenous people and portrays them as irrational beasts and lacking an intellect that allows them to think and act in a civilized way. Probably, Bradford, drew this conclusion from stories he had heard in England about the aggressiveness and lack of civilization of the Indians, however, we know that the Indians were essential to the success of the colony that Bradford was established.

3. The choice of words and the diction used by Bradford gives the text an uncomfortable impact, as it shows the ignorant and adverse view of the colonizers with the natives and reinforcing the European view that native peoples should be suppressed and act in a submissive way. land that rightfully was theirs.
