WHAT IS A THESIS STATEMENT?
A road map for the paper; it tells the reader what to expect from the rest of the paper.
A single sentence at the end of the introduction that presents your argument to the reader.
The rest of the paper – the body of the essay – gathers and organizes evidence that will persuade the reader of the logic and validity of your thesis statement.

Strong Thesis: While both The Pedestrian and Time in Thy Flight explore a future void of meaning, The Pedestrian focuses on one man’s seemingly innocent attempt to find happiness while Time in Thy Flight deals with the intentional rebellion of young children.
