I am uuber annoyed and confused by my history teacher. He gave us summer history assignments and one of the is an essay that doesnt really have a question, so how can u give an awnser or a thesis?? The prompt is…

In an essay, describe the scenes as described in “A True Relation of Virginia”, “The Starving Time, and ” The Indentured Servant Writes From Virginia”, quoting the sources.

All the articles were given and I’ve read them, so I can summarize them but I dont know how to start or form a thesis for that prompt…

You’ll want an opening statement that will tell what you are writing about and give some structure to your essay. Try something like (Titles of all three articles) describe scenes that are similar (or different.) Or you could say something like, What the scenes in these three articles have in common is ….. Or you could get creative and say something like, Extreme abundance, extreme privation and stark raw beauty are descibed in these three articles. I haven’t read the articles so don’t quote me but I hope this gives you an idea of how to get started.

A thesis is a statement that you are trying to prove. An essay doesn’t have to prove a statement. It can be a general discussion, an opinion piece, a recapitulation of information available on a particular topic, a piece of fantasy or science fiction. So essays and theses (the plural of thesis) are not the same thing.

He has asked you to describe the scenes as described in three books – that’s all you have to do. You don’t have to come up with an original position and prove that you are correct, all you have to do is describe the scenes. You can compare and contrast them if you wish, or point out the strengths and weaknesses of each, the imagery used in describing each of the scenes, all backed up by quotes from the source.

Does that help?

Intelligence may well be a no longer basic one to coach, nonetheless. the main important ingredient to contemplate is this… base line, why could we care that want or selfishness in human beings is a high quality that creates and keeps social classes? regardless of your answer is to that question, that’s your thesis assertion. A thesis could constantly attraction to why human beings could care.
