Come on, Y, you can do it better than that. The purpose of this exercise is to teach you to develop a thesis in three steps. Your "spedific " step 4 does NOT support the main idea. YOu need supporting paragraphs to support the main idea.
Answered by y912f
bobpursley i don't think you saw my earlier posts. it tells what each paragraph should be about. 1-intro, 2-physical appearance, 3-person's surroundings, 4-actions or behaviors, 5-conclusion.


is it ok now?
Answered by bobpursley
Then you need to adjust your thesis to include physical appearance, surroundings, and actions.

The supporting paragraphs are to SUPPORT the thesis.
Rich has nothing to do with appearance, or behaviours.
Answered by y912f
ok. let me explain this. 'rich' is just the main idea about the essay and the thesis. the thesis statement just has to state the main idea. then, you have to write three supports and create a three-step format for a new and improved thesis statement. i need help on the last part. i basically just need to combine all the above information and make it into one complete sentence. that's what i'm asking help on.
Answered by Ms. Sue
You write your sentence, and we'll critique it.
