Summary of chapter five

BLOG POST 1: Write a summary of Chapter 5 in Inquiry. (You don't need to summarize the exercises and sample essays; just the information about thesis statements.)

       In chapter five of our Inquiry text, it talks a lot about how to make a amazing thesis statement, which can be truly helpful, if you don't already know how to write a proper thesis statement. First, it must have a clear assertion about your topic, must reflect awareness of the topic, shows the writers view on that topic, and should be at the beginning of an essay. Also, the argument the writer is trying to state, should be clear to the reader, they don't have to guess it. There are three ways to make a thesis statement and these ways are misinterpretations model, the gap model, and Modification model. In the thesis, you should have a clear context about the topic and the issue must be established in the thesis, no later. You should write the other side to that topic, if you can, so that the reader knows there are two sides to that certain topic. Explain what you see is the problem with your topic or what are you trying to convey. Lastly, you should if possible have three main points in your thesis statement.
