Thesis Blog Post

1. A. This thesis statement is weak, because it’s making a claim. It is also making a broad claim. Statement (B) can be argued.
2. A. I think this thesis statement is weak, because it’s obviously true. The second choice (B) can be argued, and it raises questions.
3. B. This thesis statement is obviously true, and is a statement of fact. The (A) statement can definitely be argued.
4. A. This statement is very obvious. Choice (B) is more original than (A). This statement can also be argued.
5. A. This statement is too personalized. It’s not one sentence like (B) is, and although it’s arguable the statement is making a claim. Choice (B) is arguable, and it’s also one sentence. Choice (A) is too overstated.

My thesis statement for essay #3 is “There are many people in society that think, if you resisted or dodged the Vietnam War, you are un-American and disloyal.”
This statement is definitely arguable, it also is specific, and I do support it with evidence from my text in essay #3.
