Does this make sense? Help with writing a thesis?
I don't think it does, but I can't figure out how to word it: In Jonathan Edwards’ Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, ethos, logos, and pathos are used by means of vivid imagery to sway sinners towards doing the right things. I'm trying to figure out how to combine the fact that the author uses ethos, logos, and pathos as well as the fact that he uses vivid imagery to express those (ethos, logos, and pathos) with the overall goal of using scare-tactics to keep sinners from doing just that: sinning. I've never really had an english teacher, or any other teacher for that matter, who can explain exactly how to write a thesis in a way that I understand, though. I can tell that mine are horrible, but I just don't understand how to form a proper one. Any suggestions or explanations?
Does this thesis statement for Pocahontas make sense?
I'm not too sure what you're asking... if the context of the sentence is correct, or the way you said it? I would rephrase it and say... "I have to say, Pocahontas shows that people are inherently good by saying "when people search their feelings, the goodness of their hearts will decide their actions." Hope I helped :)
How many pages should a master's thesis have?
I agree with Laura Hale's answer to How many pages should a master's thesis have? about average master’s thesis length but would like to add that it is very important to learn about the requirements at school you’re studying at.For example, at NYU Draper Interdisciplinary Master’s Program the required length is:The master’s thesis is a carefully argued scholarly paper of approximately 12,000 – 13,000 words (roughly 50 pages).The required length of thesis MacQuarie University, Sydney, Australia is next:The maximum word length is between 75,000 and 100,000 words for a doctoral thesis, and 50,000 words for an MPhil and 20,000 words for the Masters of Research theses, other than in exceptional circumstances as approved by the Executive Dean of Faculty.Best of luck with your thesis research!
Plzzzzz help...what affect does ANTITHESIS have on a reader...and what are antitheses used for??
The answer is in the definition. Antithesis is the juxtaposition ( the act of placing close together, as for comparison) of two contrasting (opposite) ideas. It causes the reader to make the comparison of the two ideas, to see the complexity (as stated above) of two ideas, and also to emphasize the ideas that are juxtaposed. As to parallel structure, it can be seen in the opening lines of 'A Tale of Two Cities': "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...It was the epoch of hope, it was the epoch of despair...We had everything before us, we had nothing before us..." - like that.
How do I form a thesis statement for a literary analysis essay?
Your question is a little vague in some respects. On the one hand you mention a thesis and then you use the word essay. Two different things.I’m going to assume that you need to write an anaysis essay on some pieces of literary work.My thought is that you adapt and use the model I suggested in another answer.IDADECIntroduction, Assumptions, Diagram, Explanation, ConclusionEXCEPT that in your essay, you substitute Examples to Discuss in place of a Diagram.In your essay, you will still need an introduction and some assumptions. And you will need a conclusion.Your Introduction will be to introduce the general topic of your essay. And refer to the elements of literature that you intend to discuss. Literature has far too many different elements to discuss them all. So choose the ones you want to discuss. The ones you know most about, of course.Your Assumptions would consider what particular element type(s) of literary principles and methodologies you have chosen to discuss . And why.Your Examples would specify which literary examples you have chosen to illustrate the arguments and discussion in your paper to follow. And why you chose them. . Your why here would merely be an extension of your assumptions.Your Explanation will be a detailed comparing and contrasting of the various elements you have cited in your assumptions. Using your chosen examples as illustrations to compare and contrast your discussion points.Your conclusion will be a drawing together of the points you have made. and your opinion about them.One final piece of advice. DO NOT download and copy /paste from the Internet. Most of the stuff you will access from the Internet is someone else’s opinion. Not based in truth or fact. Probably not as learned as your own.Do yourself a favour. Go to a library and do some resarch.I am aware of more than one student who did just copy and paste. Didn’t even bother to delete the browser references. Or the links to other articles. Then wondered why the Professor rejected the work without marking it.
How to write a thesis statement for AP World History?
OK, first for the layout. A five paragraph essay is very traditional, so I would go with the traditional layout. That would be: the first paragraph being the introduction, in which you introduce the three main points you will be discussing; the three paraphs, in which you would discuss one main point each as defined in the introduction; and, finally, the conclusion, in which you close the essay by restating your main points and brining it all together. I hope that was clear enough to make sense. About the thesis statement: those can be difficult. It would be pretty hard for me to give you a thesis statement that would work because your thesis statement really depends on what you're writing in the essay. In fact, even though the thesis statement is in the introduction, I've always been advised to write the actual thesis statement last. It seems backwards, but it's always worked for me. What I do is write the whole essay minus the thesis statement then go back and decide on a statement that would encompass the whole essay. And, yes, that really is one of the most difficult parts, so it may take a few tries before you find one you're really satisfied with. Generally, what the thesis statement should do is summarize you're stance on the topic (if you're supposed to take a stance), or summarize what you're going to prove in the essay. On overly-simple (and not necessarily correct, factually) thesis statement might be "The Han Dynasty of China and the Roman Empire were very different in the areas of politics, class structure, and culture; however, they both succumbed to similar fates in the end." Again, that's just an example of how you may approach a thesis statement. Sorry this is so long but it took me a long time to get good at thesis statements so I appreciate how nerve-wracking of a process it can be. To sum it up: write your paper, then condense the most import general aspects of the essay into one sentence that clearly sums up what will be explained in the essay. Good luck!
