A thesis
statement is designed to present an argument (the thesis) and offer support for it that will
outline the remainder of your essay. It is useful to think of the thesis statement as a
miniature encapsulation of the essay as a wholean argument followed by supporting reasons
(typically three) around which the subsequent paragraphs will be modeled. So the first piece to
figuring out your thesis statement is crafting your argument.
The primary
argument could be something such as Madame Loisel learns an important lesson through the story.
Then, you would have to find supporting factssuch as that her vanity caused her dissatisfaction,
that her greed led her into destitution, or that her need to please others caused her to be
blind to easier solutions to her problems. Then, you craft the thesis statement together with
these elements:
Madame Loisel learns an important lesson
as her vanity causes her dissatisfaction, her greed leads her family to ruin, and her need to
please others...
