Question

Having trouble writing thesis statement, can someone help? I always give medals!

This is what I've got:
"By explaining what happened before, during, and after the event took place, I can showcase how it resulted in a confusing situation."

Answer 1

the subject is basically just explaining an event I experienced involving a bullying situation, how I handled it and how I could have handled it

Answer 2

The Pre-Wrath Rapture theory is set forth in the book, The Pre-Wrath Rapture of the Church by Marvin Rosenthal (Thomas Nelson, 1990). This view may be summarized as follows:

The Rapture of the Church is not an imminent event (p. 292). It cannot take place today. It is impossible for the Lord Jesus to come for His Church today. The Rapture cannot take place next week, next month or next year. Indeed the Rapture cannot take place for at least four or five years [at the very earliest]. The Rapture will occur immediately prior to the Day of the Lord and the Day of the Lord will begin with the opening of the seventh seal (pp. 18,60,176). The Rapture will occur on the very day the Day of the Lord begins (p. 117). It will occur at the very outset of the Day of the Lord (p. 210).

Daniel’s 70th week (a period of seven years) contains three distinct time periods (p. 233): (1) The first is the "beginning of sorrows" which is the first 3½ years (p. 147). (2) The second is the "Great Tribulation" which begins in the middle of the 70th week [at the beginning of the last 3½ years]. The Great Tribulation is also called "the time of Jacob’s trouble" (pp. 74, 206). The Great Tribulation is man’s wrath against man, not God’s wrath (p. 105). The Great Tribulation is "cut short" and made less than 3½ years (pp. 108,109,112). (3)The third time period of Daniel’s 70th week is the Day of the Lord which is the time of God’s wrath. The Day of the Lord begins with the opening of the 7th seal (p. 26).

According to this view, the Day of the Lord must be clearly distinguished from the Great Tribulation. These two time periods are distinct and separate and do not overlap (p. 147). They both occur during the last 3½ years, beginning with the Great Tribulation and followed immediately by the Day of the Lord. It is uncertain when the Great Tribulation ends and when the Day of the Lord begins because no man knows the day or the hour (Matt. 24:36). The Day of the Lord will commence sometime within the second half of the 70th week (p. 60). How long will the Day of the Lord last? It will end at the end of the 70th week. The uncertainty involves when it will begin. It will begin "long before the end of the 70th week" (p. 153). The Day of the Lord will begin "a considerable period of time before the 70th week ends" (p. 248). The Day of the Lord must be longer than five months because the 5th trumpet judgment alone is said to last five months (Rev. 9:1,5 and see p. 153) and the trumpet judgments take place during the Day of the Lord. The Day of the Lord will immediately follow the Rapture of the Church, which according to this theory is described in Matthew 24:31.

The Church will be on earth when the Antichrist makes a treaty with Israel which marks the beginning of the 70th week. The Church must enter the 70th week (p. 19, 137). The Church must pass through all of the first 3½ years. Indeed, the Church must be on earth during a significant part of the second half of the 70th week (p. 138). The Church must be on earth during the entire period called the Great Tribulation ("the time of Jacob’s trouble") and will not be Raptured until after the Great Tribulation is over, but immediately prior to the Day of the Lord. Thus Church saints must be on earth to decide if they will accept the mark of Antichrist (p. 36) and they must be willing to suffer and die for Christ, if necessary, under the persecution of the Antichrist (p. 34). The true Church will be on earth when the Antichrist is personally present, empowered by Satan (Rev. 13:4), demanding that the world bow down and worship him (p. 137). Thus the Church will be present on earth "during a significant part of the 70th week of Daniel" (p. 138). The great multitude from every nation described in Revelation 7 is the raptured Church (p. 184-185).

The first four seal judgments (Rev. 6) take place during the "beginning of sorrows" and the 5th seal takes place during the Great Tribulation (p. 147, and see Rosenthal’s chart published in Zion’s Hope, 1990). During the Day of the Lord the Trumpet judgments take place, but not the bowl judgments (p. 147). The bowl judgments are not poured out until after the 70th week of Daniel during the 30 additional days mentioned in Daniel 12:11. The seal judgments involve the wrath of unregenerate men whereas the trumpet and bowl judgments involve the wrath of God (pp. 34-35, 145). The Day of the Lord is not the time of God’s wrath in its totality because the Day of the Lord includes the trumpet judgments but not the bowl judgments. The bowl judgments take place after the Day of the Lord during the 30 days which follow Daniel’s 70th week. Thus, the seal judgments and the bowl judgments are not part of the Day of the Lord; only the trumpet judgments take place during this time. [I have a letter on file from Marvin J. Rosenthal (April 11, 1991) confirming that I have presented his position accurately.]

Answer 7

@andone @~

Answer 8

yeah, you could say it went a little off track lol

Answer 9

So is the thesis statement of you getting bullied or you helping a kid not getting bullied.

Answer 10

its a situation where I witnessed a bullying event

Answer 11

which involved my brother but I don't know if that's really relevant

Answer 12

Bullying can be very depressing especially if it happens to someone you know.
I just made that one.

Answer 13

Is that like a thesis statement.

Answer 14

Well, the one that I have is this: "By explaining what happened before, during, and after the event took place, I can showcase how it resulted in a confusing situation."
A thesis statement is suppose to summarize what you're going to be saying in an essay and have three seperate points that will be you "topics" for the body paragraphs

Answer 15

that's why I went with the "before, during, and after" scenario

Answer 16

That's not how I learned but then again teachers always teach a bit different.

Answer 17

I would agree with your thesis statement.

Answer 18

Very true.

Answer 19

Is your thesis statement allowed to be more than one sentence.

Answer 20

@GwenS @TheSmartOne

Answer 21

Thank you, thesis statements are always hard for me so I'm happy to hear any kind of input

Answer 22

You're welcome.

Answer 23

No, it has to be one sentence

Answer 24

It's the ending sentence to your introductory paragraph

Answer 25

Then your thesis statement is absolutely perfect.

Answer 26

It cant have any personal words like I or you

Answer 27

A thesis statement:

tells the reader how you will interpret the significance of the subject matter under discussion.
is a road map for the paper; in other words, it tells the reader what to expect from the rest of the paper.
directly answers the question asked of you. A thesis is an interpretation of a question or subject, not the subject itself. The subject, or topic, of an essay might be World War II or Moby wingspan; a thesis must then offer a way to understand the war or the novel.
makes a claim that others might dispute.
is usually a single sentence somewhere in your first paragraph that presents your argument to the reader. The rest of the paper, the body of the essay, gathers and organizes evidence that will persuade the reader of the logic of your interpretation.

Answer 28

It can't? Oh, I know you can't announce what you will be saying but I didn't know about the "I or you"

Answer 29

what would you suggest replacing it with?

Answer 30

ya it makes it sound like you are telling the reader something instead of explaining.....if that makes sense.

Answer 31

"By explaining what happened before, during, and after the event took place, I can showcase how it resulted in a confusing situation."

"By explaining what happened before, during, and after the (event/incident) took place, I can (showcase/demonstrate) how it resulted in a (confusing/complicated/bewildering/baffling) situation."

Answer 32

"By explaining what happened before, during, and after the event took place, this can showcase how it resulted in a confusing situation."

Answer 33

How does this sound: "By explaining what happened before, during, and after the event took place, one can clarify how it resulted in a confusing situation."

Answer 34

"By explaining what happened before, during, and after the \(\color{red}{incident}\) took place, I can \(\color{red}{demonstrate}\) how it resulted in a \(\color{red}{complicated/baffling}\) situation."

Answer 35

I think that sounds perfect @GwenS

Answer 36

Actually, I like the word "discern" better, how about this: "By explaining what happened before, during, and after the event took place, one can discern how it resulted in a confusing situation."

Answer 37

@confluxepic it is too complicated

Answer 38

Since discern means to perceive or recognize (something).

Answer 39

even better @GwenS

Answer 40

Is incident better in place of event.

Answer 41

I like incident but I used the word even more commonly throughout my essay and I think event just flows better. You had no way of knowing that so it's fine but your suggestion was really good!

Answer 42

event*

Answer 43

Oh man, now I don't know who to give a medal to. You both helped me!

Answer 44

I gave it to @SoccerChick101 because she has fewer medals. I did fan both of you though!!

Answer 45

"By explaining what happened before, during, and after the event took place, one can discern how it resulted in a confusing situation."

Answer 46

I actually have another question but it involves a paragraph...

Answer 47

I'm gonna start a new question so I can give another medal

Answer 48

Can you ask it in a different question and tag me.
