The Thesis Statement Choose the statement from the prewriting sheet
you agree with. That becomes your thesis statement.
Your audience must know what YOU believe.
Without a thesis, the references to the play don’t support anything – and that affects the essay’s grade.

Organizing the Body Paragraphs Start by choosing your three BEST
