After you have presented some general background information, you will need to nar­row your focus. This is done in a thesis statement which is often the last sentence of the introduction. A thesis statement is similar to a topic sentence in several ways. Just as a topic sentence controls the information for a paragraph, a thesis statement controls the information for an entire essay.

 

A good thesis statement        identifies the subject of the essay,

                                              establishes the aspects of the subject  that

                                            the essay will deal with.

                                     

Underline the thesis statement in John Lennon: A Musician for All Time and answer the following questions:

1.   Does the thesis statement identify the subject of the essay?

2.   Does it establish the aspects of the subject that the essay develops?
