1. Where as politicians have claimed to support the return of jobs, many politicians, also business owners, have claimed to support and be proud of outsourcing jobs.
This is a, in my personal opinion, a good lead in to the essay I am aiming to write. It may be a little leading in the way of guiding general opinion.
2. The American Dream is claimed to have died. However, it is not dead, it has just been outsourced to other countries.
This statement is a little more vague than the last. It has a solid ground but may be a little vague for when I need to bring up the point about David Perdue.

REFLECTION:
When looking at Isaac's and and Alex's thesis statement's, I found that mine were up to par with their own. I enjoyed how Alex touched on both sides, but I personally found it more successful to stay with the tone of the article that I am using for my project. I believe that my thesis statements are very well written and will work very well for me.
I think this is a good start to a thesis but could be further developed. After class and really getting into how to write the thesis I can now see how much you need to include. Just add something about the author and their strategies and your thesis could go from good start to great.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Alex. After class today, I think its fair to say all of us need to develop our thesis statements a little more. We are capturing the general sense of our author's arguments, but aren't truly assessing the rhetorical situation and strategy. Now that you have the base down, it should be easy to build off that foundation. Good luck on project 2!
