How do I write a thesis statement?

What is a thesis statement?


Answer

The thesis statement is the GPS of your paper because it tells the reader where the paper is going to go. You want this statement to be as clear as possible! The thesis statement introduces your main point.

Example of a Thesis Statement

Domestic cats should not be allowed outdoors because they wreak havoc on the local ecosystem, their life expectancy is higher if they live only indoors, and animal control may mistakenly take a domestic cat to the shelter.
