How to Write a Thesis

Step 1:  
Pick a topic
Pick a thematic topic from the text.
Ex. Fate

Step 2: 
Create a theme
A theme will be a complete sentence.
It will answer the question: "What is the writer saying about this?"
Ex. An individual must follow the path that fate intended.

Step 3:
Find aspects that show theme
Ask yourself: "What literary devices does the writer use to reveal the theme?"
Pick 3 aspects of the work (literary devices/characters/events) that show the theme
Ex. Paradox, setting, irony

Step 4:
Combine your theme sentence with the three aspects of the work to create a thesis.
Ex. Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood
"Margaret Atwood explores the unforeseen and often negative consequences of valuing scientific advancements over preserving humanity."
