HOW TO MAKE A THESIS STATEMENT IN 3 EASY STEPS

1. Start with a simple or obvious statement that interests you and deals with something in the text for which you can get examples.

2. Draw inferences and ask yourself questions like why this happens/exists. Start thinking philosophically or symbolically about the universal truths that the work suggests. Challenge yourself to see something new/original/unique.

3. Add these new ideas to the original statement. Polish the statement continuously by eliminating linking verbs, working on structure, elevating vocabulary, adding appropriate adjectives and adverbs, using strong/articulate language that will force deep critical interpretation, etc. You must find a way to include a character’s name, the author’s name or the title of the work. (Not all three; one will do.)

Example of final statement: Odysseus’ love of the homeland, stronger than his love of his wife, symbolizes the universal human attachment to the unchanging land over another human who has the potential to change or die.
