- Both the movie and the book portray this story fairly well; however, the film leaves the viewer deprived of details that are vitally important to fully understand the plot that Veronica Roth so dexterously lays out in her book. -
At UC Santa Barbara and CSU Stanislaus, I used the same exact formula for every thesis statement, no matter the topic. In general, we wrote literature-based research papers. The formula consists of the three questions below:
What is going on? (*What is the argument?)
How is this happening?
Why is it important to study?
Most students include the first two parts, but the third one tends to be missing.
Going back to Jessica's thesis statement, it can be taken apart and fit into the three questions.
What is going on? (*What is the argument?)
- the film leaves the viewer deprived
How is this happening?
- details (are missing from the movie)
Why is this important to study?
- (the missing) details are vitally important to fully understand the plot that Veronica Roth so dexterously lays out in her book.
While the paper was not written flawlessly, the thesis statement came off as interesting and had a sense of importance.
Anyways, hopefully that helps.
