Question

WILL MEDAL!!
Okay I really need some help please I am decent with writing essays but I am TERRIBLE with writing a thesis statement. The topic I have to write about is the places I have lived which are Virginia,California and Florida. Thank you so much for your help in advance.
Edit: With the places I have lived I will be writing about the monumental places in them.

Answer 1

Alright so As You Know The Thesis Statement is The Main Idea Of a Paragraph or story.

You Could Say Something like: IVE BEEN TO MANY PARTS OF THE US BUT LIVING IN VIRGINIA, CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA HAS MADE ME WHO I AM TODAY.

That sentence right there is a sentence that I would use as the last sentence in the introduction paragraph. That way you are finishing off the paragraph strong and it should make your reader want to continue reading about why those places are so important to you.

-Lol just pitching an idea.

Answer 2

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 near the beginning of your paper (most often, at the end of the 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 3

Both, India and Tanner are correct. A thesis statement is a way in which you will decide "how" to interpret the subject at hand. In this instance you have lived in CA, FL, and VA and your experiences have made you into who you are today.

Now, to pinpoint your thesis statement-ask yourself, 1. What have these places thought me about life or about myself? And why?

If it were me, I would say: The wisdom goes that traveling makes people more interesting and more open-minded; but we don't have to travel to other countries in order to become a better person.
