Thesis Statement – If a hook captures the reader’s attention,
then a strong thesis statement is the guide that tells the
reader
what your essay is about, gives them something to anticipate
and structures the rest of your essay. It should be focused
and
debatable, should pick a side and show the reader what you
will
write about. Because your thesis statement must pick an
argument, it is almost always used for persuasive essays.
