Discussion:
Sample Thesis Statement
After reading the stories:
"To Room Nineteen" by Doris Lessing.
"The Magic Barrel" by Bernard Malamud.
"The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.
"The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin.
Please write a one sentence thesis statement. One for each of the stories.
A one sentence statement that is used to "defend" and "prove" is called a thesis statement. Sample thesis statement: The color yellow in Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" symbolizes the decay, unhappiness, and instability of the main character who is not even given a name.
