This is the thesis to an essay: “Both the short story ‘Flowers for Algernon’ and the essay ‘Fish Cheeks’ have the theme that it is normal to want to fit in with others.” Which quote from “Flowers for Algernon” would you choose to support this thesis? “I told them becaus all my life I wantid to be smart and not dumb. But its very hard to be smart.”
“We had a lot of fun at the factory today. Joe Carp said hey look where Charlie had his operashun what did they do Charlie put some brains in.”
“Even a feeble-minded man wants to be like other men. A child may not know how to feed itself, or what to eat, yet it knows of hunger.”
“please tell Dr Nemur not to be such a grouch when pepul laff at him and he woud have more frends.”

“Even a feeble-minded man wants to be like other men. A child may not know how to feed itself, or what to eat, yet it knows of hunger.”

Explanation:

Generally, when we want someone close to us, we want to treat that person well, since their presence makes us happy and comfortable. That way we want the other person to also feel happy and comfortable with our presence.

However, the quote shown above shows a situation where people want a specific individual close to them, however, they want to treat that individual badly. They want to make jokes, make fun and expose the insecurities of that individual as a joke. So, this quote is the perfect example to support the essay thesis that states that although "Flowers for Algernon" and "Fish Cheeks" meet people's desire to fit in with other people, only "Flowers for Algernon" conveys the theme that people generally treat those who are different poorly.

answer: this is not a good thesis statement because a thesis statement is not supposed to have questions in it. a thesis states your position on your topic. a question cannot state anything because it is not a statement. a question is a great lead in to a thesis, but it can't be the thesis.

i believe the answer is thesis, reasons, evidence, counterclaim, conclusion
