Its normally the first sentence, lets say you're writing a essay why books shouldn't be banned. The thesis statement would contain the answer to this already, and the rest of the essay will back it up.

The thesis statement in an essay is usually found at the end of the introduction paragraph and sums up the points you will be talking about in your essay

That's not always true. A thesis statement can be ANYWHERE in an introductory paragraph, as long as it makes a clear and stable point, the stand you take in the argument, and will proved throughout the essay..
