In this chapter it talks about how to form a thesis and use supportive evidence to form a well organized essay. It starts by how to form a tentative thesis. You must have about on to two sentence to form a thesis which your thesis will answer your central question you have for your essay. Your thesis will appear on the end of the introductory paragraph. Then when you have done this you start to from your evidence which is mostly the body of your paragraph. You want to start by making an outline of your evidence then later on you will put it into you essay. Another thing that would be helpful for your readers is to explain a unfamiliar word or idea in your essay and make sure you to back up your assertions with facts or examples for the essay. Finally, you can use experts opinions but don't rely on their arguments, you will want to use your on words.
After reading this chapter it was very helpful to understand the whole concept behind and essay. I'm going to take into consideration about the outline regarding the body of the essay because i know that is one thing I fail to do. I sometimes just start writing instead of writing out my thoughts on paper. Also use your own words and trying to rephrase experts insights is very hard to do. This chapter was very helpful to me.
