Your thesis should not be the statement of a fact, but an interpretive claim that it is the job of the essay to support. A sample thesis:”By keeping Iago’s underlying intention a mystery, Shakes...

It is against this setting of perfect American personality that particular characters have been fashioned to fill particular social parts in contemporary society, in many cases meeting various political purposes. Subjects are built into being pretty ...
