i suggest not doing romeo or juliet b/c everyones going to do them and your teachers going to read a million of them and if she gets to yours and its different- thats a good thing. i suggest friar lawerence. he was crutial to their secret marriage, juliets fake suicide, he was the only one who knew that juliet wasnt really dead, he was the first to find thr dead romeo, told juliet what had happened, etc. without him the none of that twisted romantic tragedy could have happened.\n\noh- and a good thesis sentence could be: The most influential character in The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, without whom the plot would be undone, is Friar Lawerence. \nbtw:The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is the official title.

Your Thesis Statement:\n“Alexander is a powerful ruler because he created a mighty military; he spreads Greek culture, and has the capability to control the largest empire in the world.”\n\nFirst he WAS a powerful ruler, because he inspired and led a mighty military.\n\nMy Thesis Statement:\nAlexander was a powerful ruler because he inspired his men and led a mighty army.  He unified Greece and went on to conquer Persia and most of the known eastern world.  What made him a great ruler was; his skill in combat, the great loyalty he inspired in his men and his ability to unify all the City Nations of Greece.\n\nAccording to Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesis\n“A typical thesis has a title page, an abstract, a table of contents, and a bibliography. Other components might include acknowledgements, a dedication, indexes and appendices, glossaries, lists of tables, images or figures, lists of abbreviations, and so on.”\n\nAccording to Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesis_statement\n“A thesis statement, also called a thesis, is the main point that is to be discussed by an essay. Usually backed up by examples, the thesis statement is the theme of the whole piece. The thesis statement also provides the reader with a general idea of what the essay is going to be about. Thesis statements are very specific and to the point. This way the essay stays focused and narrow on the subject matter.\n\nGenerally, the thesis statement is introduced at the beginning of the piece describing the topic and how the writer is going to analyze the information on that topic. The topic is also summarized at the end, giving the reader, and essay, closure.\nIn university or high school writing, a thesis will typically contain multiple paragraphs. So will an essay, although it's possible for an essay to consist of one lengthy paragraph (see topic sentence). For example, "In the early 1970s, a rock group named The Ramones captured the fancy of a generation of young people who mimicked the tattered fashion and punk attitude of these genuinely talented musicians, boosting them to fame."\n\nThere is also a concluding statement that has to flow with the thesis statement. Do not forget to use your thesis as a supporting sentence in your conclusion.”\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------\nKing Phillip tried to unify all of Greece, a job that Alexander took up and completed.\n\nAlexander was a powerful ruler because he had a mighty military.  He continued the training that he father Philip II of Macedon, had started and he joined his father's Calvary.  By serving with his Calvary he gained their respect.  He spent the same time in the field as his men, he shared the risks they took, and he slept along with them.  When took over for his father he was revered by his men and greatly honored.  He built a loyalty that would cause his men to willingly die for him.  After the death of King Philip his army proclaimed Alexander to be king.\n\nBecause Alexander was such a popular general for his army he had very loyal troops and in battle that was a great advantage.  They would willingly follow his orders even if they seemed a little crazy.\n\nIn one famous battle against the Persian King Darius II Alexander’s Calvary could have caught up with the King and captured or killed him.  Instead he wheeled his Calvary around to help his infantry, thus saving his Army.  By saving his Army it allowed him to continue his conquest to unite Greece and later to conquer Persia.\n\nIn another great battle Alexander was fighting an island nation.  He had effectively disbanded his navy so he could concentrate all his forces in his Army.  To win that battle he ordered his men to build a causeway out the mile or so to reach the island.  He also used the powerful siege weapon the scorpion, to defend his troops.  As his causeway grew, the island defenders sent boats out to try and ram it, fireboats were u

Hey\n\ni think this one is the best:\nhttp://www.statementofpurpose.com/\n\nHope it helps.\n\nHeres something else from the website:\nhttp://www.accepted.com/grad/personalstatement.aspx\n\nTen Do's and Don'ts for Your Statement of Purpose\n\nThe Do's\nUnite your essay and give it direction with a theme or thesis. The thesis is the main point you want to communicate. \nBefore you begin writing, choose what you want to discuss and the order in which you want to discuss it. \nUse concrete examples from your life experience to support your thesis and distinguish yourself from other applicants. \nWrite about what interests you, excites you. That's what the admissions staff wants to read. \nStart your essay with an attention-grabbing lead -- an anecdote, quote, question, or engaging description of a scene. \nEnd your essay with a conclusion that refers back to the lead and restates your thesis. \nRevise your essay at least three times. \nIn addition to your editing, ask someone else to critique your statement of purpose for you. \nProofread your personal statement by reading it out loud or reading it into a tape recorder and playing back the tape. \nWrite clearly, succinctly. \n\nThe Don'ts\nDon't include information that doesn't support your thesis. \nDon't start your essay with "I was born in...," or "My parents came from..." \nDon't write an autobiography, itinerary, or résumé in prose. \nDon't try to be a clown (but gentle humor is OK). \nDon't be afraid to start over if the essay just isn't working or doesn't answer the essay question. \nDon't try to impress your reader with your vocabulary. \nDon't rely exclusively on your computer to check your spelling. \nDon't provide a collection of generic statements and platitudes. \nDon't give mealy-mouthed, weak excuses for your GPA or test scores. \nDon't make things up.

Edgar A. Poe is one of the most unique American Writers in the United States History, he started the era of short stories, and detective books. \n\nthat is the start of a Thesis statement but not quite enough do you own an apa book. it needs to be a paragraph. when you write a thesis statement you need to let the reader know basically what your story is about. where you start The cask omit in this particular book erase that  but start the The cask as your first paragraph after your thesis statement. try not to use words like he's use he is. you want you paper to look professionally written. watch out for a lot of compound sentences . puncuation is a biggy also. if this is a college paper then English papers must be perfect. good luck go on the internet and pull up all kinds of facts about edgar and use it in your paper just remeber to cite you ork if you make quote for example so snd so said "I did This" (doe,john)    hope this helps.

This is an easy one. The answers are all within the first 10 pages of The Odyssey. Read it closely and ask yourself these questions:\n\n"What does this story tell me about how this society functioned?"\n\n"How did they communicate and pass down their history?"\n\n"What are some examples of things that were important to believe in during this time and in this society?"\n\nIt's a great story and you can learn much from it. I hope you get something from my answer, but you have to do your homework on your own.

hi there! i once wrote an essay on genre and narrative theory when i did an access course in media studies a few years ago. hope this helps you:\n\nfirst of all, have you watched and analysed the ad? if so make a note of the following: firstly, write what happens in the ad and describe in as much detail as you can what types of characters are there, what they are doing, what is happening in the ad; secondly, incorporate and apply the theories of propp, todorov, levi strauss to the ad that you've chosen, link each theory or idea of theirs to the argument or point you want to make; to help start you off on this, i'd reccomend you draw a mind map or do a brainstorm, draw a line linking each idea to each thought you have, whatever comes in your mind note this down on a piece of paper; thirdly, when you have linked the theory with the argument the next step is to elaborate and stress on the importance and/or relevance/irrelevance of the two and why you decided to make this point.  \n\nlet me give you an example: 'i have decided to use todorov as a basis for my advert, taking into consideration the five stages of his theory which i will utilise and apply equilibrium, disruption, etc'. you then apply the equilibrium and other theories to your ad. \n\nas for levi strauss and binary oppostions, state the oppositional links between two themes or words that are associated with each other in the advert. another example i'd use is an advert for   the renault tv ad featuring jeremy sheffield of holby city: male/female, french/english, masculinity/femininity. you get my dirft. \n\nregarding the conclusion, summarise the main points of the essay, what YOU consider to be of importance and significance in the study of narrative. any views you may have on narrative analysis but make this as brief as you can, as well as suggest further reading on the subject. \n\nhope the course is going well for you so far; i wish you the best of luck with your studies.

You could use The Merchant of Venice for a project on gender roles.  Many critics agree that the nature of Antonio and Bassanio's relationship is homoerotic, and perhaps one-sidedly so.  The women in the book play a unique role in the fact that they provide the final judgement of Shylock, but their opinions/logic are only considered because they dress as men.  Lorenzo also admires Jessica in an erotic way when she dresses as a boy.  There's also the anti-Semitic facet of the text, if you wanted to go that route, as well as the role of merchants, money-lending, greed.  There is a wide range of criticism on this piece, because a lot of the themes and elements are somewhat ambiguous.

If this a formal essay paragraph, stay away from idioms such as "pick of the bunch", "friend for all seasons", and "fair-weather one".\n\nDoes the prompt to this paragraph deal with religion or God?  If not, abstain from mentioning that.\n\nAs the other guy said, your conclusion should summarize what you said and restate your thesis, or main point.  You could possibly be relating each characteristic listed in your conclusion to a support previously mentioned, but those don't relate too well.\n\nAnd don't use big words when nice, smaller ones will do.  When people see big words such as cordiality and magnanimity, they just think "huh?" and move on.\n\nExplain your support a little better and clearer.  What does it mean to have one's "moral principles" "in conformity with each other so you have the minimum contrast"?\n\nIf you're going to say a proverb, be sure to explain it and how it supports your thesis.\n\nGood luck editing and hope this helps!

I've always been fond of Odysseus. I like his intelligence and self confidence, although he does have his flaws.
