It's led in a really casual way and is a very general overview of what is going to be discussed. Most evidence included consists of facts or other interpretations of past examples. ]]> 2017-10-27 13:37:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201188840 https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201188856 Thesis statements in satire writing can be sarcastic and are broken up in the problem-solution format.  Also, it can be a span of multiple sentences and prove a point while poking fun at the topic.  It should also be focused and can come after a little bit of background on the topic.]]> 2017-10-27 13:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201188856 https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201188865 A thesis for an open letter commonly starts with ¨Dear__¨ and it´s directed towards a certain person or group. We also noticed that a thesis is not direct and is more implied. In addition, there´s a lot of satire.]]> 2017-10-27 13:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201188865 https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201188878 The thesis is implied throughout the message of the story and the descriptive/figurative language. It is also brought back full circle at the end of the story. ]]> 2017-10-27 13:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201188878 https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201188900 The thesis statements were more implicitly stated, and consistently supported throughout the letter. At the end of the letter, the thesis was more direct and reinstated. In the apple example, the evidence was logic and opinion.]]> 2017-10-27 13:37:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201188900 https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201188932 the thesis in a memoir is not fully stated. It bleeds the message throughout and usually at the end it then expands on it further and says the big idea. ]]> 2017-10-27 13:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201188932 https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201189001 A thesis is your argument or something you´re trying to prove. Your thesis shows throughout your paper and is constantly supported. A thesis is indirectly stated, but can be summed up in about one sentence based upon the letter.]]> 2017-10-27 13:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201189001 https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201189050 The thesis is how how our memoir relates to social justice- and our view on the subject. The thesis is implied throughout the paper. For example, in both of the examples that we read, the thesis is implied through dialogue from the main character or things that the main character narrated. ]]> 2017-10-27 13:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201189050 8031490 https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201189195 Really?

This statement is often talking about a life lesson with an over arching topic of social justice. An example would be....

It related to the thesis statement, and the entire speech was them trying to prove their thesis. So, it has to be relevant and arguable. ]]> 2017-10-27 13:38:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201189522 https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201190564 In this particularly satirical piece, one in which the author can write any way he or she wants to, it can often be difficult to find the thesis, which is usually towards the beginning. The thesis can be one or two sentences, listing a problem, and giving basic answers that will be explained later on. This type of writing with problems and solutions has to show how and why there is a problem and how and why to combat it, using evidence, usually facts and or interpretations of past events]]> 2017-10-27 13:40:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201190564 https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201191116 2017-10-27 13:41:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_amezotc/bd8zuv8wff9i/wish/201191116
