Reading Response Chapter 20

In chapter 20 the thing that stuck out to me the most was the tips and advice given when working on your thesis statement. I myself have always struggled with writing essays and specially with coming up with a  good thesis statement. I find that I still struggle trying to come up with thesis statements for essays but with following the tips in chapter 20 I hope I get better.

While writing this essay I asked myself the three questions on page 408 "Could I define or state my topic more clearly?" "Could I define or state my slant more clearly?" "Could I limit my thesis to develop it more successfully?" I ended up writing multiple thesis statements and wasn't able to narrow it down to the "best" one, so I skipped over the thesis and worked on the rest of the essay. Towards the conclusion I reworded it to best fit the thesis and went off with that.
Chapter 20 had many great tips in order to construct a good thesis statement, It did an excellent job.
