thesis statement on what does it mean to be a true lady?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Start with someone you grew up with or someone you saw in a movie or book. You need something you can build on. What do YOU think of? Do you think of women in big dresses, or do you think of the sweet woman next door?

OpenStudy (gk99):

umm do you know of any examples ? cant think of any..

OpenStudy (gk99):

Like not personally but in literature.. someone I can write a lot about

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One example would be many First Ladies, Lady Bird was a favorite. They were able to capture the hearts of America and many had as much of an affect as their husbands did. Abigail Adams often wrote to her husband don't forget the women. My opinion is a lady is someone strong. She has her own opinions and stands up for others. She wants to create an impact but also has manners.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Someone who I could say wasn't a lady was Bella from twighlight. She was someone who depended on others too much.

OpenStudy (gk99):

Ok, so the thesis could be: A true lady is someone who is strong, has her own opinions, and stands up for others. ? How can I support this and answer the question: "why does this define a true lady"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Support it with real people, remember this is what you believe. I don't remember her name as I didn't hear about her until she died, but there was this girl who loved makeup and had cancer. Instead of letting herself down that her life was a ticking time bomb, she did what she loved and fought hard. She is in my opinion a lady. A lady is someone you can look up to, a role model.

I think her name was Talia Joy. But what reasons can I give? for ex: A true lady is strong.... why? why does this define a true lady? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This defines a true lady because a true lady is a woman with the will to empower others. She doesn't have to be graceful or beautiful, but she wants to make a difference in other peoples lives.

OpenStudy (gk99):

ok! how about for "has her own opinions" and "stands up for others" ? Are there distinct differences? Like making a difference can go for standing up for others...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Standing up for others, animals. I think standing up for others is the most important thing they do. They create a chain of people who do the same.

OpenStudy (gk99):

ok. what do you mean? :) reason? like a concrete reason for each statement

OpenStudy (gk99):

Like a true lady is 1. Strong ... why does this define a true lady? 2. Stands up for other.. why does this define a true lady? 3. Creates and impact... reason for why this defines a true lady? lol sorry it's complicated

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The reason is a lady is there to leave her mark. It may be saving one person's life or saving thousands. A lady is NOT self absorved. She is strong because if she is going to change other peoples lives, she is going to have to be strong enough to do that. If she can not hold herself together she wouldn't be able to succeed. She stands up for others because she knows it right. She isn't afraid to stop a bully from picking on the smaller boy, even if the bully is bigger than her She creates an impact because others follow in her lead. This defines a true lady because she has leadership skills .

OpenStudy (gk99):

Thanks! Are there any examples that come to mind that are specific for each statement? From history or literature

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmmm none in particular.

OpenStudy (gk99):

How would I rewrite the thesis for the conclusion?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"Although a there are many ways to describe a lady she has three main characteristics " then list the characteristics

OpenStudy (gk99):

Thank you for your help! I'm gonna think about this... I'll prob be back with more questions later .. :)
