Thesis Statement

1- I think A is the weakest statement because it makes no claim. It also has no arguable point and it doesn't raise any questions whatsoever.

2- I think A is the weakest thesis staement because it is nothing more than a simple observation. It's not an arguable point.

3- I think B is the weaker statement because it is also a simple observation, and a quite obvious one too. I don't think anyone would argue that one.

4- I think A is the weaker statement because it is just an announcement. It is just making an observation that anyone who sees the play can see for themselves.

5- I think A is the weaker statement because it is way too long, and also, a thesis statement doesn't use first person. It is more of a paragraph than a thesis statement.

Who is sean Huze and what influenced him to write The Sandstorm?

My thesis statement is, "These are ten very real experiences that Huze went through in person. They depict what he and his fellow marines saw and felt during the war, and how they impacted him and his work as a playwriter."

I think this is a strong statement because it argues that the stories in The Sandstorm are real, and that these experiences were what influences Sean Huze to write this play. It is also something that can be supported from the text and from biographical works about Huze. The ten experiences he talks about in The Sandstorm did happen and he wrote them down so that people could better understand the things a marine has to go through during war.
