read this example.

cherise was assigned to write a literary analysis of a book she read about the civil rights movement. cherise did not enjoy the book because it was confusing to her. she believed that it introduced characters without explaining who they were and that it jumped too quickly from event to event without giving enough description.

cherise’s thesis statement for her literary analysis is "many different people were involved in the important events that started the civil rights movement.”

which answer best describes cherise’s thesis statement?

a.) cherise’s thesis is acceptable because it expresses an opinion about the subject.

b.) cherise’s thesis is acceptable because it summarizes the general points of the text.

c.) cherise’s thesis needs revision because it expresses an opinion and should not.

d.) cherise’s thesis needs revision because it lacks textual evidence about the topic.

D

Explanation:

The thesis is very dry, it needs revision to include actual textual evidence of what is portrayed in the book, of course many people were involved, but who, why, where, when? It just lacks detail.

because it's a cool name

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
