So, i spent a paragraph talking about how the situation led me to be more self-sufficient, then another paragraph on how it made me self-advocating, and then my last body paragraph on my new independence. You want to make sure your thesis is CLEAR. The reader should know EXACTLY what you're paper is going to be about from that one sentence. I hope this helps, and good luck on your paper! any more quesitons? email me: meganwhit101@yahoo.com okay, so your thesis statement is going to set up your whole essay. the easiest way for me to write my thesis statement is to think about what three things i want to touch on in my essay. here’s an example:

For example, if you wanted to write about the effects of the Itailian Renaissance on European society, you would say "Some of the Italian Renaissance on society were..." Or "The Italian Renaissance had great effects on European society." It all depends on what you're writing about. Just basically tell the main idea of your paper in one sentence.
