Prompt 2: "Analyze the poetry of Emily Dickinson and the poetry of Walt Whitman, and discuss which one has a more effective style."
Reason: an evaluative thesis makes a judgment about value or effectiveness; prompt 2 explicitly asks you to decide which poet's style is more effective.
Example evaluative thesis: "Although Whitman's expansive free-verse celebrates democratic breadth, Dickinson's compressed syntax, daring punctuation, and concentrated imagery render her style more effective at conveying psychological depth and emotional nuance."
