I was with my friend today, and the topic of music came up. For context, my friend does not like Taylor Swift, but she admitted to liking the song ‘Delicate.’ I mentioned that I thought ‘Delicate’ was the thesis statement for reputation , because it’s about finding love amidst chaos.
Well, I think I blew her mind by implying that albums could have overarching themes that tied together, as if it were a novel. Also for context, I love literature and I’m going to school to be an English teacher. Reading and analyzing text has always been something I’ve enjoyed, and literature is not something she enjoys.
Maybe I just prefer more narrative driven story-like songwriting, because I do this with other artists I enjoy too.
So, would you say Taylor includes thesis statements on her albums? And what are they ?
Here’s mine so far:
Her first three were hard to pick, but I would say ‘Long Live’ would be good for Speak Now
Red: State of Grace. The whole song is about a wild love that I feel really defines what Red is about.
1989: WTNY. It’s about moving to a big new city and looking forward to what it’s offering you.
reputation: Delicate. Finding love at her lowest.
Lover: I’m stuck between ‘Lover’ and ‘Daylight.’ I feel both encapsulate what Lover is supposed to be.
folklore: The Lakes. Escapism is the center of folklore, so this song really really represents it so well.
evermore: it’s time to go. Moving on can be hard , but you have to.
Sorry for the long post, I just to see what you guys think!
Thesis statement is the most vital part of an argumentative essay, and tutors use this to gauge the quality of a paper one has written, without having to read the entire piece first. Believe it or not, lectures are human too, and they more than anyone else, suffer from the "halo effect". Once you have given them the impression that your paper is properly crafted by deploying an intuitive, engaging thesis statement, they'll most definitely read through it with a more open mind, and instinctively award higher marks.
But then, what is a thesis statement and how is it crafted?
To explain this in the simplest way possible, let me give an example of a thesis statement:
Assume that the topic was "legalization of euthanasia"; the thesis statement could be:
>While a utilitarian approach would most likely support mercy killing due to its perceived benefit to the subject, this practice should be abolished since it goes against the principle of sacredness of life as opined by most religious doctrines, and robs family members and friends of a loved one without a natural course, thereby instilling more agony.
While this statement appears a little bit advanced for an average student to come up with, writing a best essay requires such intuitiveness, or even more. For those who find this challenging, there are online essay writing service providers such as academiascholars.com that can offer a paper outline, together with a thesis statement for your approval before the final draft is written. Alternatively, you could just entrust your entire essay writing needs to them as you handle other matters in your schedule.
Always note that it is important to figure out your thesis statement first before you can begin writing the body of your essay, since it gives the essay its overall direction.
If you write the thesis first, you have to find evidence to support an argument that may not even be accurate. You are artificially limiting an argument to what you say in the thesis. However if you find evidence first, you are exposed to a wider variety of evidence and can formulate a better more concise and accurate argument as displayed by your thesis. So, I pose that writing your thesis first is an incorrect way to write an essay.
Edit: Just wanted to say, Im genuinely enjoying the discussion that is coming from this. So I wont have to say it 500 times, I yield in saying that a thesis statement is malleable, but at what point does the rewriting of the thesis become more work than doing the research first and basing your thesis on your findings?
Edit 2: Syntax error.
I’ve had a running joke in my streams for a while now. I call myself “CompFS” while knowing that I am the furthest thing from a competitive player. However, I captured my 50th Clutch Time win and snagged Pink Diamond Damian Lillard in the process. I played all games on Xbox One and finished with a record of 50-16. Through a minor miracle, I knocked down three 4-pointers in the process. How did I do it? That’s a great question, because I’m trying to figure it out. Still, I learned some tips and tricks along the way. I want to share my knowledge with you.
There are a few things you must know about this mode. I will list them in bullet-point fashion.
-DO NOT fall in love with the 4-point line. It’s definitely tempting, but it can hinder you more than it can help you. I shot 4-pointers when I was wide open, and they were usually off the catch. That line is further back than you might think. Don’t fall in love with deep shots at all. Drive and kick, baby. Drive and kick.
-PUSH THE PACE. You must attack your opponent’s defense. There is absolutely no time to waste. Use a quick point guard who can handle the ball well. Diversify your offense with a forward who can bring the ball up. Keep your opponent guessing. Attack with aplomb, and you will bear the fruits of your labor.
-Make sure you have players who can rebound. Your 3, 4 and 5 must be able to rebound. It won’t hurt if your 1 and 2 can also rebound the ball well, and you’ll need to rebound effectively to maximize the mode’s design.
-Two-pointers are more effective than you might initially realize. If you’re constantly attacking, you’re bound to draw a few fouls. This is especially important once both teams go into the bonus. Attack, attack, attack. Do not let up. If you get fouled, you can take a moment to catch your breath at the free throw line. I won most of my games because I attacked the paint with fervor.
-Press up on the opponent’s initial ball handler. I don’t advise running a full-court press, but pressure from your point guard can do the trick. The pressure costs your opponent valuable seconds on the shot clock. There were several times where my opponent had six-to-eight seconds to make a decision once the ball handler crossed the line. Lateral quickness is important. Make your opponent feel you.
-I didn’t run settings every game, but there were a few games where I broke some out of my back pocket. I stuck with my tried-and-true Hawks 2018 Freelance for additional spacing. I set my O

Hello all, I am writing an paper on the anime and I had some trouble coming up with a thesis statement that was argumentative. Heres what I have so far:
Attack on Titan deliberately argues that repeated cycles of hate toward oppressed minorities are unjust because of its anti-fascist messages and its emphasis on how groups cannot be inherently better than others.
Any feedback is well appreciated.
Your XP Professor is writing this report on a business trip, and it’s about time I share what I have learned throughout playing Current Domination. I finished the final games last night. I evolved all of the Evolution players and acquired T.J. Warren right after Draymond entered my squad.
In the interest of transparency, I completed all games on my Xbox One. I’d imagine that several of my tips will apply to the “Next-Gen” versions of the game, but I haven’t really played on my PS5 yet this year. My goal is to acquire Carmelo on both of my consoles, and I’m rolling through that task on Xbox first.
There are a multitude of players who helped me throughout my journey, but I’d like to recognize the MVP first. Chris Boucher is an absolute monster. The guy does everything on the court. He can shoot. He can pass. He can defend with the best of them. He is absolutely free and becomes even more of a demon after you evolve him. If you are playing Dom, I highly recommend that you grab this card and use him at your Power Forward. He can also play the Center position very well. His versatility provided another layer of depth to my team, and he’s the main reason why I secured Draymond. No question about it — he’s absolutely worth the time it takes to acquire and evolve him.
He certainly wasn’t alone, however. Who helped out our MVP on my quest to glory? I’m glad you asked. I’ll go over some of the higher-tier cards first and then move on to some more quality players later on. I was lucky enough to snag Diamond Marques Johnson as my first Diamond card this year, and his slashing ability certainly helped. I also took advantage of some of the lower-tier players from the Flash Pack (Sapphire Duncan Robinson, Ruby James Worthy, Ruby Darius Miles, Amethyst Fred VanVleet and Amethyst Peja Stojakovic.) I didn’t purchase Kawhi, but I would imagine that he would play a huge role on defense if you have him. I also enjoyed using Amethyst Vin Baker, Amethyst D’Angelo Russell, and Amethyst Sidney Moncrief. My awesome support system encouraged me to enter the Exchange for Amethyst Otis Birdsong, and our friend Otis helped me a ton in the last few games. Other excellent Ruby cards include Pascal Siakam, LaMelo Ball, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Mitchell Robinson. When you evolve Mason Plumlee, he becomes a solid threat inside.
You probably won’t need to use your Free Agents cards very much, but they can help in a pinch if you’re struggling. Remember to use them sparingly. You’re limite
... keep reading on reddit ➡Most fans of the series will generally come away recognizing that GG is largely about familial themes, more specifically the relationships between parents/guardians and their children. There are additional themes, of course, surrounding coming of age and romance, but by and large the focus is on parents and children.
But... what does it amount to in your reading of the show? What does the show most significantly argue about its themes, and do you agree with its ultimate assessment?
For my part, I'll try to answer: The earlier seasons present Lorelai and Rory's relationship as the bold alternative form of parenting, improvised under duress, and suggests that a relationship that fosters very close, friendly intimacy over authority and guidance is superior to others. However, later seasons start to poke holes in this idea as Rory undergoes difficulty that may have been resolved by a different relationship with her parent. Similarly, we are exposed to numerous other parent/child relationships that try for different strategies but also end up creating imperfect relationships.
I think the implication of the various parenting styles, from Emily to Lorelai to Luke to Mrs. Kim to Christopher, etc., is that no style is perfect and every parent is going to fail in some sense or create some issue that their child has to navigate. A parent's responsibility is not to do any one thing, but to do the best according to their own abilities and their child's needs. (I agree with this, generally)
The second implication, I think, is that children have a responsibility to recognize that their parents are flawed humans and avoid making excessive judgements accordingly. This is probably the more controversial of the two statements I believe the show makes. While I agree that it is certainly healthier for children to recognize their parent's imperfections and, to an extent, forgive them some of their failings, I don't necessarily believe the show's implication that parents and children are bound to one another in a way that goes beyond normal human relationships.
One of the more controversial aspect of the show to modern viewers is the relationship between Lorelai and her parents, which, despite a very real love shared between all parties, devolves frequently into cruelty and harassment that many consider abusive. Though headway is made on improving the relationship, there's never really a moment in which the characters articulate that what has happened is wrong and

Here's mine:
Question: To what extent was Flaiye's rapid secularization brought on by the invention of the matrix sheet?
Thesis: While the invention of the matrix sheet significantly furthered the people's power and made them less reliant on the sorcerer-kings they had worshipped, the discovery of the spell matrix itself played a far greater role in reducing the worship of sorcerers.
Context:
A spell matrix is a special shape that looks like a QR code that a person needs to process visually in order to cast spells.
In the Age of Sorcery, these had not been discovered yet. It was simply assumed, even by sorcerers themselves, that the knowledge necessary to cast spells was non-replicable, and unique to them.
That all changed when a sorcerer analyzed the process of casting a spell, and discovered that he always visualized the same thing. With a bit of experimentation with his servants, he discovered that anyone could cast spells as long as they were visually processing their matrices. Because of this, matrix sheets–pieces of paper with a spell matrix on them–were invented
The student's point is that it wasn't the invention of matrix sheets that caused people to stop worshipping the sorcerers, but the revelation that their magic didn't make them inherently better.
So my class is ‘writing about monsters’ and our final paper is a 10 page research paper with 10 sources. So far in the semester I have been exploring the monsters of the bible (I did an analytical essay on Satan’s role) cause I’m not religious and wanted to learn more about them and why they exist. My current working thesis is: Monsters in the bible are often taken too literally, but they are actually representational and can provide (reverse?) examples and show how to be a good person.
I know it’s not a great thesis but I’m not an English major for a reason. I don’t think that I’ll be able to write 10 pages worth working from this thesis but I don’t know how to expand it. I don’t know what else would be good to talk about. Any advice?
My brain is fried from all the writing I have been doing lately. I wrote a thesis statement and I would really appreciate some feedback on it if possible. Its for a film analysis. Thanks in advance!
Statement: "The film Gook by Justin Chon takes an important historical event that impacted different marginalized communities, creating a story that attempts to come to terms with the racial and economic tensions created as a result of the 1992 Los Angeles riots through the experiences of the main characters."
Green numbers on the quarterly reports is by far their biggest fear.
Does this thesis statement contain too much?
The question is: How does Orwell portray the theme of individuality in 1984?
Thesis - Orwell’s use of aesthetic devices positions the reader to view the theme of individuality through the portrayal of technology as a conduit for IngSoc to survey and brainwash the citizens of Oceania, into disbelieving their own emotions, allowing the Party to insert them [the Party] into themselves [the citizens].
The common impression that Diluc and Kaeya's relationship gives out is that of irritability, distaste, and mild distrust.
It is a very easy, yet common conclusion to end up with, and let me pile up some visuals as to why most people think that Diluc and Kaeya don't like each other, and let me explain why they don't actually do.

Diluc's voiceline shows negative opinions about his once brother, but let us examine it further.
Diluc's voiceline at the very least shows that he still trusts Kaeya. With how long they've known each other, and with Kaeya coming clean to him (Kaeya Vision Story), he knows which of Kaeya's words are lies and truth. He would not trust his secrets to anyone outside Dawn Winery except to Kaeya. He knows that Kaeya speaks in codes and riddles and Diluc knows how to decipher it.
His voiceline is mostly indicating that most people cannot really discern when Kaeya lies and when he does not.
Below are some examples of other voicelines emphasizing how people cannot really read his words, yet Diluc is confident enough to know which half of Kaeya's words to trust.

Kaeya's voiceline implies that he SHOULD NOT like hanging out with Diluc because he's a boring broody Batman. But every interaction they have negates this.

A thesis statement offers a concise summary of the main point of the essay. It refelcts the deeper meaning of the story. A thesis for a literary essay needs to go beyond making an observation about the work and actually analyze the work.
This is my first time having a philosophy class and we were gifted with a very picky teacher. I am having a hard time to turn in a thesis statement that he wants exactly. After 5 attempts of trying to turn in a thesis statement, he finally gives an answer that is not "your representation of Marcel/James is inaccurate". I'm alright with being told it is inaccurate, but I need to know why and I am not being told why. The comment he gave that helped is my representation of James being inaccurate because " a way of explaining the self that is unique to his style."
My paper's general theme is "What is the self?" and my teacher recommended me to use Marcel's view of the self to critique James' view of the self, so I used "Being and Having" for Marcel and the Empirical Self for James. This is my latest thesis statement that I made so far.
"William James says that there are different types of the self, such as social self which is the self perceived by others, altogether known as the ‘empirical self’ by James, and it would be good to look at it and critique it with Marcel’s ‘being and having’, which is about the self as being or having something like our own body, or relating to other things or people through the two modes, because it would be good to see the ups and downs of the self being the empirical self, the kind of self consisting of the 3 different kinds of selves, instead of a view of the self such as Marcel's."
I don't know how to fix my mistakes yet but I'll keep trying. My teacher has not given me proper comments so I don't know. He just said not to elaborate, and to keep it as a single statement. After posting this I will also try and improve it while reading more information, but I really need any sort of good comments to help me fix my thesis. Thank you very much.
The prompt for the thesis statement is, "The Federalists and Nationalists believed being an American was accomplished by ______, ______, and _______."
