Thesis Examples

Question

I need help forming a thesis for a literature paper on Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants”.

Answer 1

I consider a thesis the framework for the paper. Think of three or four topics to tackle (topics you’re passionate about or peaked your interest), and consider the logical order so you’ll have cohesion. Remember your thesis can be up to three sentences that give the reader a preview of your paper- tell me what you’re going to tell me. Once you’re happy with your thesis, use it as a reference to the order in which you’ll write.

Answer 2

You need to settle on a topic of the essay, from which you will create a thesis. What interests you most about the conversation in the story?

Answer 3

Hi,

When writing a thesis, I always try to condense the topic of my paper into one section. I usually try to address at least three points in my thesis that I will tackle in the paper. I consider theme especially, and often tie in symbolism and tone, which are two stylistic elements I know Hemingway loves. Is there something specific you're writing the paper? That way we could work together to help develop that thesis a little more.
