The most interesting elements I found from this reading were where the original historical context to a thesis statement is introduced and how it developed into the modern definition we had for it as a “claim” and “position”. I personally found this reading to be really helpful since writing thesis statements had always one of my greatest weaknesses. Most of the definitions and key concepts pointed out the reading I had been more or less aware of. The information from table provided on page 50 regarding the types of projects that need and doesn’t need a thesis I found to be really helpful as well.
