Tesis de el hombre

tesis de el hombre se posee en la medida que posee su lenguaje•is the single most important passage in your paper. Your writing should be especially careful and clear here; you don't want any confusion or awkwardness!

•is the single statement (typically one complex sentence, but it can be two or three) version of your paper. It should provide, in brief form, the main content of your paper.

•is the most concise formulation of your argument–the no frills version of the case you are making. It should very clearly make a case, argue a point!

•is a quick summary of the ground your paper will cover

•is a precise roadmap telling your reader not only the points you will make (usually 3-5), but also the order in which you will make them. Or, if you prefer, you can think of it as a promise to your readers: "I argue this and this, and I'll be doing it in this order."

•is, once youíve written it, your guide to how you want your paper to be structured

•is typically the last sentence of your first paragraph

•must strike a balance between hyper-specificity and vagueness. You will be able to flesh everything out later, so donít give it all away, but try to avoid tragic vagueness: ìTo convince the reader of his argument, Bob Dole uses several different strategies and techniques. Take away Dole's name and that could apply to any article!

Thesis as a Roadmap: Structure

Let's say this is your thesis:

ìDole adopts a complimentary tone to pull in Hollywood and its supporters, makes extensive use of quotes by studio executives (and even mentions democratic senators) to suggest broad support for his indecency concerns, and presents a case study of one studio's evolution over time to support his assertion that a line has now been crossed. But in trying both to praise and condemn Hollywood, to please those who dislike it and recruit those within it, he occasionally spreads himself too thin, failing to please either group.

What does it tell the reader? Well, most obviously, it suggests the content of your argument, which, roughly, can be broken down into four parts: Dole's "complimentary tone," his "extensive use of quotes," his "case study of one studio's evolution," and his spreading himself "too thin." One would expect that content to be reflected in the paper itself. So, a mention of Dole's possibly flawed examples (which would seem to have no relevance to any of the four components) or the complete absence of any discussion of his complimentary tone (which your thesis suggests is one of your four main concerns) would be a problem. Content of paper and thesis must match. They might not in the first draft; you may, after starting with this thesis, eventually find yourself
