Literary Thesis
Writing a Purpose Statement
(2) WRITING A PURPOSE STATEMENT:- After surveying the requirements of the assignment and exploring your ideas, write a tentative purpose statement. Briefly tell yourself what you want to accomplish in your writing. This purpose may change as your project unfolds, but writing it out early will guide you.
(3) ASKING QUESTIONS:- Jot down questions based on the report. Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? Ask questions relevant to your topic; your answers may become the materials for your paper.
WRITING A TENTATIVE THESIS:-
When you know enough about your subject and purpose, write a tentative statement of the point you want to make in your thesis.
Usually a sentence, but sometimes longer, a thesis in its final form will be the primary controlling idea holding your writing together, the basic message you want your writing to express.
It may be a kind of assertion. An informative thesis. The theme of an autobiographical essay.
A tentative thesis will help you at the beginning of a project to decide what to say and focus on.
In a later version based on the information you have gathered, it will act as a reference point to keep you on course as you write a draft.
Still later, as you revise your project, you will compare your tentative thesis to what you have actually written, to see whether your point has remained the same or has it changed. If it has changed, you will rewrite it to fit your discoveries.
In this final version, it will help answer the one question readers almost ask: “SO WHAT’S THE POINT?”
