I need help wording my thesis. My idea is..if a man was to catch someone beating his daughter, is it legal to kill him? But I need a thesis statement not with that specific scenario...if you know what I mean....please help! ((My book is Murder on The Orient Express by Agatha Christie))
Before anyone can help you with a thesis, you need to let us know what your plan or outline looks like, even if you think it's very rough. No one can dream up a good thesis statement out of thin air!!
Post your outline when you're ready.
Be sure to read and study the examples given here: http://leo.stcloudstate.edu/acadwrite/thesistatement.html <~~how to turn non-thesis statements into thesis statements
Long books have been written on when it is legal to kill. You are not going to cover it in a single essay, unless you scope it down. I wonder also, if you have thought this out, and have a plan.
Formulating a thesis statement can be quite challenging, but with the right approach, you can create a strong and concise statement that effectively conveys your idea. When crafting a thesis statement for a literary analysis, it is important to focus on the key themes and elements of the book.
In the case of "Murder on the Orient Express" by Agatha Christie, one possible thesis statement could be:
"Through the exploration of justice, morality, and the complexity of human nature, Agatha Christie's 'Murder on the Orient Express' raises thought-provoking questions about the limits of the law and the moral gray areas surrounding vigilante justice."
Now, let's break down the process of creating this thesis statement:
1. Identify the key themes: Start by identifying the main themes or ideas that resonate throughout the book. In this case, the themes of justice, morality, and the complexity of human nature are prominent.
2. Analyze and connect themes to your idea: Since your idea revolves around a scenario involving vigilante justice, you need to connect it to the themes in the novel. Ask yourself how the book explores justice, morality, and the complexity of human nature in relation to the concept of vigilante justice.
3. Craft a concise and focused statement: Take your analysis from step two and boil it down into a single, clear sentence. The thesis statement should capture the essence of your idea without explicitly referring to the specific scenario you mentioned.
Remember, crafting a thesis statement is an iterative process, so you may need to refine and revise your statement to ensure that it accurately reflects your idea and aligns with the contents of the book.
