I'm finally starting to write my paper on Clara Bow, and my teacher wants us to write a five page defending who she was I guess. But my question is: what is there to defend??

Answer 1

Only your teacher can answer this question.

Does she want you to detail her importance in film and in the overall culture?

Answer 2

Or maybe she wants you to defend Clara Bow's positive influence on changing women's styles?

Ask your teacher.

Answer 3

Ha ive tried asking, but thanks.

Answer 4

A final thought -- if your teacher approved your thesis statement, then you need to defend it with details that support it.
