Writing a Thesis Statement

Definition: A thesis statement represents, in one strong sentence, the essence of the author's point of view on a given subject he attends to prove futher in the text with the help of arguments.

Examples: Although the story is considered more as a horror story, it can be viewed as a precusor to modern detective story.

Thesis statement for Tell-Tale Heart: Although the story does not present a specific historical context, we can sense its impact on the denouement of the plot.
