@@michaelkrauszer4037 ofc, thank you so much! I have a question: When writing the body paragraphs, do you think it is better to separate paragraphs in terms of their literary devices (the thesis in each body paragraphs is about a certain literary device and the whole paragraph and evidence are about how the author utilizes it)or in terms of its contents like the examples you gave in the evidence and commentary reviews video? Thank you!

@Michael Krauszer Here's my thesis, let me know what you think: Howell uses the sisters' clashing femininity and intellect to argue that Penelope has underlying an animosity towards her naive younger sister, Irene.

Could you help me with my thesis: In William Dean Howell’s “The Rise of Silas Lapham,” Howell initially illustrates the similarities between the sisters and then juxtaposes them through the sisters’ individual life experiences, resulting in their differences as Penelope remains in her shell whereas Irene matures, ultimately demonstrating that becoming a part of society and going out of one’s comfort zone is the only way to grow.

[@susanzhu6265]

I would give you the point, but I don’t think “...resulting in their differences... whereas Irene matures...” is needed due to how you’ll most likely be explaining those differences in your essay. It also cuts into the flow, but it’s still a pretty strong and defensible thesis statement

[@wemakibe2638]

Quick question. Is it a problem to state the devices the author used like saying Howell used "details in the sisters' appearance" and "shifting perspectives" in your introductory paragraph along with the clam?

[@getzelvargas9970]

please help me with my thesis, Howell illustrates the two sisters as each one being eager to gain approval from society or their family by demonstrating the sister’s differences and unique qualities.

Michael Krauszer much help thank you!

[@arlethnevarez7109]

Is topic/opinion/literary lenses/due to or because /supporting detail 1 / supporting detail 2 a good structure for a thesis

[@luciocardenas2869]

hey i would very much appreciate this but could you read my thesis and tell me what you think of it. Thank you for your time. "The two girls. Penelope and Irene, are symbolic in that the author uses their interactions in everyday life and family to illuminate a new way for women live, opening the possibilities of what a women could be in this time. "
