Topic Summary for Writing About Literature

A good thesis for an argument paper needs to be debatable. It should be written in a way that gives your position on the topic that you are writing and should leave room to be argued by other people that have a different position on that topic. The thesis statement should not have too little information. Your thesis statement should not be a summary of the topic. You need to state a position so that you can support it in the rest of your paper.

I plan to use this information to write better thesis statements. I will make sure that I do no just write a summary as a thesis. I will make sure that my thesis statements have my position on the topic, and that the rest of my paper stays focused to the thesis and supports it.
