The ARGUMENT thesis does
must state your claim. In the
thesis you will state your stance—
argument—directly. Avoid 1st
person except when using
personal experience.Sample Thesis: Possibly, but I agree with the Roman
poet Horace in that adversity has a
way of rousing talent from slumber.
Adversity can stimulate, force, and
sharpen a person in ways prosperity
cannot— there is, then, value in
hardship.
