Fact and Example of Thesis Statement

A thesis statement is logic arguments. It makes analysis and it is arguable. Thesis statement IS NOT main idea in paragraph. It reflects the arguments you are making about your main idea in a clear one or two sentences. Here are facts and examples of thesis statement.

Fact

• A fact (or observation) is not thesis statement 
• A strong thesis just have ONE main point, no more. 
• A strong thesis is arguable from evidence
• A good thesis can be expressed in two sentences 

Example:

• "Ernest Hemingway is one of my favorite authors." Not a thesis statement. No one could have an alternative opinion about this; if you say he's your favorite author, then he is. 
• "The music of Pink Floyd was the most important influence on American pop music in the 1980s." This is a strong thesis that could be argued with evidence.
• "Eating organic food is good for your health and helps the farming economy, too." The problem with this one is that it focuses on two main points, not one, as required by a strong thesis.
