Some thesis reminders

When writing a thesis, here are some ways to turn a fact (observation) into an argument (interpretation):

o   Identify a cause or an effect.

o   Answer how or why.

o   Evaluate / make a distinction between the two things being compared.  (Say who is more isolated, or who is affected most by internalized oppression, or decide whose need for absolute power led to greater negative consequences.)

o   Take a stand on a controversial issue.
