How to write a Thesis

The thesis is one of the High Global Concerns in your paper.
The most important line in the whole essay paper. It is the main idea to your paper.
Therefore, it is good to know an easy way to create your thesis. Below are some brainstorming ideas.
Hope this helps.

Now, where do you start? Sometimes professors use questions for you to answer in the essay. You can use that question and turn it into a thesis.

Let's say you have to write an analytical paper on Jamie Ford's book of Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet.

Your professor asks whether or not it is easier for people to learn political and social issues from historical fiction?

 Well for starters, decide which side you are on. Whether you agree with this idea or not. Let's say you are in opposition to learning this way.

So tweak the words around a bit so that it can become a thesis...

Such as the following: Learning political and social issues through historical fiction instead of textbooks is not easier for people.

Or, You can use key words that the professor gives you in their prompt(instruction handout). Plug those keywords into a sentence that will formulate the concept of your paper.

What if your professor asks you to write about a problem that not only affects you and your community, but has the propensity to become a global issue?
The keywords are in bold.
Let's say that problem is...GM food that floods our supermarket. This issue affects you and your family, your community, the country and the world.

Let's take this idea and the ones in bold from your professors suggestions and form a sentence.

GM food is not only an issue that affects my family and community, but it is becoming a global concern as well.

THESIS!☺

I really hope this has been helpful. If you have any other ideas that work better for you please comment it. I'd like to learn other methods too!
