Question

The thesis statement belongs at the end of * the first paragraph. Use the sentences below to identify which statement would be considered a WEAK thesis statement.
Today's films do not have the emotional
• impact of the classic horror films of the 1940s.
Many people do not like to watch violent horror films.

Answer 1

The statement that would be considered a WEAK thesis statement is: "Many people do not like to watch violent horror films."

This statement is weak because it is more of an observation or generalization rather than a specific argument or claim that can be supported with evidence. A strong thesis statement should clearly convey the main point or argument of the essay, whereas this statement lacks a clear stance and does not provide a basis for further discussion or analysis.
