Question

I'm not sure EXACTLY what a Thesis statement is, can I have an example or two?

Answer 1

The thesis statement is the sentence or two in your text that contains the focus of your essay and tells your reader what the essay is going to be about.
The thesis statement usually appears near the beginning of a paper. It can be the first sentence of an essay, but that often feels like a simplistic, unexciting beginning. It more frequently appears at or near the end of the first paragraph or two.
The first paragraph serves as kind of a funnel opening to the essay which draws and invites readers into the discussion, which is then focused by the thesis statement before the work of the essay actually begins.

Here's a website with excellent explanations about thesis statements.
