User: discuss the characteristics and importance of a thesis statement

Note: A well-written thesis statement establishes the central focus of a paper. By reading the thesis statement, readers should be able to determine what the author of the paper will aim to prove throughout the essay. [ By composing an engaging and effective thesis, writers can create a compelling beginning to their paper that both draws readers in and creates excitement about the paper content. Argumentative All thesis statements should be argumentative in nature, reports the University of Houston. Do not begin your essay with a factual statement, such as, "The sky is blue," because this statement is irrefutable and, therefore, not something you can effectively argue. Specific Effective thesis statements indicate specifically what the essay will be about. Do not make an overly broad statement in your thesis, such as, "Animal cruelty is bad." Instead, compose a statement that is direct and to the point, such as, "Animal cruelty has an impact on all humans." By composing a specific thesis statement, you increase the likelihood that you can effectively prove your argument. For More: www.ehow.com/list_6558602_characteristics-good-thesis-statement.html ]

You need to identify the reason for the thesis and the approach you are going to take. Short. [ You need to not burden the reader with so much information that they stop wanting to read it. Precise. That is different that short. The reader needs to get the information that they need to understand where the thesis is going to go. Exciting. By this I mean the reader must be encouraged to care about reading the thesis. Compelling. You want the reader to be interested enough to read the whole thing. ]
