research essay part 1
Post information about the topic of your research for your paper on Death of a Salesman http://www.pelister.org/literature/ArthurMiller/Mi…
Your posting and comments should address the following:
- your potential thesis statement in bold
- the reason you have chosen the topic for your research paper
- the interest you have in the subject matter
- any discoveries you have made about your topic through your research so far
The thesis statement you include here is a “working thesis”; you may find that you change and refine it as you continue to work on your researched essay. A good thesis is usually in third person (no “I” or “you”), is a statement (not a question), and tells the reader the main points you are claiming in your paper. Make sure that your claim is original and interesting, not simply an obvious statement of fact. Please see below for more information thesis statements:
