Instructions: Write a basic thesis statement and a revised thesis statement in response to the writing prompt.

Writing Prompt
How have these two authors expressed their relationships with nature? After reading and analyzing “Calypso Borealis,” an essay by John Muir, and William Wordsworth’s poem, “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud,” write an essay in which you describe how each author views nature and answer the question. Support your discussion with evidence from the text.

Go through the Thesis Statement Essentials Checklist. It is OK if you are not able to check off some of these characteristics.
Is your thesis statement one sentence?
Does it answer the question?
Does it use specific words?
Does it take a stand? Could someone have a different interpretation?
Does it introduce a comparison or contrast?
Does it answer “Why does this matter?” or “So what?”
Based on the checklist above, revise your thesis statement so that it has all of the above qualities and include it here.

Answer 8

One sentence for the thesis statement is a bit orthodox. In reality it can be up to two sentences especially when your dealing with a lot of information (research paper). For the sake of the grade though, I would follow their criteria.
