I have to write about all of the points I listed at the bottom (from MWC class @ FHSU)
As I understand, a thesis statement is supposed to have a single point.
However, I was also told to give a brief explanation of what I’m going to be explaining; that is, for each point/paragraph that follows, I should give a brief explanation of them in my thesis statement.
My thesis statement, and most of my essay, revolves around the first question that I have to address.
But what about the next questions that I have to address? Do I mention them in my thesis at all, considering they don’t contribute to the single, primary point of my thesis?
Also, I have the same question for my conclusion.
Last, it was suggested that I write an introduction, and then write a thesis statement. Is this good advice?
"Essay Question: Historian Alfred Crosby argues that Columbus and other European explorers re-knit the torn “seams of Pangaea.” Exactly what does he mean?
What were the most significant achievements and liabilities each continent introduced to the other?
Why did the ecological factors surrounding the re-connecting of the continents favor the Old World? Is there any irony in this?
What if the pattern of exploration was reversed? What if the “New World” discovered and attempted to colonize the “Old?” Assuming they had the technology to launch this effort, could the people of the western hemisphere have succeeded in such an attempt? Why or why not?"
