Creating our Thesis Statements

Writers, today you tested your possible thesis statements by asking these questions:

  1. Is this an arguable statement, rather than a fact?
  2. Is this statement true for the beginning and the end of the story?
  3. Can I support this statement with evidence from the text?

My thesis statement is:

Gabriel is a lonely boy who lets a kitten into his life and then isn't lonely anymore.

What are some of your thesis statements?

Feel free to comment on the thesis statements of others as well!

On my thesis, that I wrote today, I asked myself, all of these questions, and all of these questions fit my thesis. My thesis is: I think it was nice of Frog to write a letter to Toad.
