Answer 1

A thesis statement is the sentence that tell what the essay is going to be about. Every essay has to have a thesis statement.

Answer 2

A thesis statement is a part of the introductory paragraph of an essay. It is also called a map statement because it should tell the read where your paper is going and what it is going to cover.

The thesis statement is a sentence that describes the main point of your paper. You should be able to tell exactly what the paper is about and/or trying to prove from reading the thesis statement. Think of it as the headline of a newspaper article. The headline gives you the main idea, but doesn't go into great detail.
A thesis statement should contain two things. It should include what the focus of the essay will be about and it should contain clear words so the reader will have a good understanding of it.
a thesis statement is basically your main idea of that topic.

It also expresses your opinion or how you feel about the subject.

The thesis statement states the thesis or argument of the author in an essay or similar document.
the last sentence of paragraph one. the author states their opinon clearly

Answer 3

A thesis statement tells the reader what your essay will be about. The first sentence in your introduction paragraph is called the grabber, usually it's a quote/son lyric anything interesting that will make the person want to continue reading. The second statement starts to focus on the topic of your essay. The third and final sentence is your thesis statement. As I said, it says exactly what you will be writing about.

Here's an example from an essay I wrote comparing and contrasting two women from two separate stories:

Bill Purdin once said, "There are two kinds of people: those who put themselves first and those who put others first." One of the best examples of this is Della from "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry and Madame Loisel in "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant. Although there are some similarities between them, Della, poor, in love, and completely selfless, is vastly different from selfish, ungrateful, and materialistic Madame Loisel.

(The thesis statement is bolded.)

Answer 4

It is the focus of one's essay. In the thesis statement, one mentions what the essay talks about. Meanwhile, one should be able to reference the topic sentences back to the thesis. All topic sentences should support one's thesis. (At least that's how I learned it.)
