Write a thesis statement for your Station Eleven essay.  Remember that the thesis at this point is subject to change.  The thesis acting as a compass will provide you with direction as to how to approach your discussion of the novel’s chosen theme.

Why might my thesis statement disappoint the reader?
1.  useless pronouns
2.  overused conjunctions (and, but, for, yet, nor, or, so)
3.  Ambiguity

The thesis statement is due on DAY 5 of the syllabus.
