Show transcript
A thesis statement is an overarching argument and should refer to the writer’s intent. The thesis statement is also an opportunity to show how your argument relates to the ‘bigger picture’. A topic sentence explains the main focus of your paragraph. An effective analytical essay includes topic sentences, supporting detail, and concluding sentences. Priestley uses Mr. and Mrs. Birling to represent the older generation and their attitudes towards social responsibility.
