Please post your theme thesis statement. Below the thesis statement, list out the three things (events, characters, conflicts, etc.) that prove your theme to be correct.
Make sure that you either print this out or write it in your notebook for class on Monday as well. If you forget it, you will need to redo it!
Hello Ms Gelso and classmates
ReplyDeleteMy thesis statement is the following:
The events of the story called “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut show that “When your will is stronger, your dreams are just a simple goal…”.
The three parts of the story that support this statement are:
• Firstly, when Harrison Bergeron decides to escape from jail, he succeeds it by believing that he can do it, even though his end which was depending on that, ended terribly.
• Secondly, Harrison Bergeron’s will made him spend limits and fall in love with the ballerina, something that I believe didn’t expect or if he did expect it, in jail he wouldn’t have the chance to feel an emotion like this. So life vindicated him.
• Lastly, by removing the handicaps he shows his strength and desire to feel free.
Hello Ms Gelso and fellow buddies,
ReplyDeleteMy thesis statement is:
The short story Harrison Bergeron, is a good example of the statement: “If you take pride in your singularity then you can rise up higher then you can dare to do things others would not.”
My three evidences are:
-One example is when Harrison Bergeron breaks into the room and tears off all his handicaps, earphones, and ugly disguise and roars “I am the emperor, Do you hear I am the Emperor!”. This shows that he dares to show everyone that he is powerful and he wont accept that people have to be destroyed in the name of equality.
-Another example is when Harrison Bergeron went to prison because he wouldn’t stop to express that he was different and because of that, even the government recognized him as an ingenious and athletic person.
-The Last example is when Harrison Bergeron says: "‘Now-" (…) shall we show the people the meaning of the word dance? Music!’". After that, Harrison Bergeron started dancing the best he could with his “Empress”. First of all, this demonstrates that he felt free to express how well he danced well, and since he felt free to express it, he danced marvelously.
Have a nice day Ms Gelso and chums!
Thank you Mam
ReplyDeleteHello every one, my thesis statement is
to forgive some one you must have a grudge against him or her.
The three parts of the story that support this statement are
She took him to her house and did not take him to jail this shows that she has forgiven him.
A boy ran up from behind and tried to take the woman’s pocketbook the boy fell down and she kick him right square in his blue jeans sitter, here you can see she has a grudge against him and was not happy he tried to take her pocketbook.
She gave him a half nelson round his neck and took him to her house you can see here that she has a grudge against the boy.
nice work stavros it sounds great and i can see you put a lot of work into yours.
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone
ReplyDeleteMy thesis statement is the following
The events in Harrison Bergeron shows that "Never let your hopes die, keep them alive".
The 3 statements that proves my statement correct:
1)First off all, when he hoped that he would be free from his handicaps, he does try to fulfill his hope by taking them off.
2) He hopes not be be equal as everybody else, and in the end he does try his best to show what he can do by not following the government orders.
3) He crossed his limits and decided to secretly escape from jail because he did know that his hopes will come true in the end.
Freedom everyone needs freedom from something but in their own way. This is on the story of “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut.
ReplyDelete-In the story we can see various people under control of the government and others in jail for trying to escape from the governments rules. No one can take the lead to dtart a new era of freedom
-In “Harrison Bergeron” we can see that the first sign of resistance against the government and hope towards freedom is Harrison’s when he escapes from prison
-Harrison demonstrates that fighting for freedom is the hardest thing to do even though it may have really good effects for example in the story if he wasn’t killed he would have started the new era of freedom
Hi Ms Gelso!
ReplyDeleteMy thesis statement is:
The events in the story "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. show that "When you have a dream, you do everything for it, even if your life is in the deal."
The parts in the story that support my statement are:
- This is one of the strongest I have, when he shouted and crying at the same time "I am the Emperor! Do you hear? I am the Emperor! Everybody must do what I say at once!" As you may think, no he didn't say it in an "evil" way. He was referring that he suffered a lot all because of the government. You know, it's not our fault that you were born to be better at something more than anyone! It's a gift you got from God, and you live with it forever.
- "Harrison smashed his headphones and spectacles against the wall" So that means after he got in the studio he smashed his handicaps, not before he escaped! That proves for me a lot a power and power of will, to have handicaps all over the body but still accomplish your goal: A message to the whole world.
- "It was then that Diana Moon Glampers, the Handicapper General, came into the studio with a double-barreled tengauge shotgun. She fired twice, and the Emperor and the Empress were dead before they hit the floor." Well, that an example of fear. She shot both of them, so that the ballerina wouldn't spread the message or something.
Hi
ReplyDeleteMy them thesis statement for Harrison burgeon and just kept on smiling is that life can’t always be fair.
Three things that support this are that in Harrison Bergeron everybody is equal and they had to kill people to keep it equal and that is wrong. Another thing is that in just kept on smiling everybody is beaten because the thief didn’t show himself. the last thing is also in just kept on smiling when Nicky carver tell the teacher that he is the thief and he has to wear a sign on him.
Bye
Christian
My thesis statement is:
ReplyDeleteThe events in the story called "I Just Kept on Smiling" by Simon Burt
show that " Some people are closed with others even dough … ".
• Firstly, when the narrator decides to hide his birthday invitations the day of his birthday because he wants nobody to know that important date.
• Secondly, the narrator smiles when he doesn't know what to say to his friend or a person he knows.
• Lastly, the narrator doesn't talk very much to the people he knows because he is shy and he doesn't want to reveal his life to other people even if he knows them.
Your thesis statements are looking good everyone! All of you have chosen a theme or message that you will be able to prove. Excellent. When writing your thesis statement however, you do not need to put your theme message in quotation marks. Also, end the sentence with a period, not "..."
ReplyDeleteOther tips:
Christian, choose just ONE of the stories, not both.
Uchenna, we talked a little bit about how you could word your theme in class, let's talk a bit more about it. "Hold a grudge" does not quite work.
Ludovica, "though" NOT "dough."
Fiza, the events "SHOW" not "SHOWS."
Alessandro, your theme is good. However, look at how others have worded their thesis statements. Remember that you must inclde the title, author, and theme in your thesis statement.
It's looking good, everyone! Don't forget to bring a copy tomorrow for class!
my thesis statement is: the events from thank you m'am by Langston Hughes demonstrates that sometimes forgiveness is better than a punishment
ReplyDeleteThree statements that support my thesis statement are:
1)When Mrs. Jones didn't report him to the police for robbery attempt Roger started in a way trusting the woman even he thought he was still going to get some sort of punishment.
2)After the kid was released from the house of Mrs. Jones with the money in his pocket and a vary valuable lesson he probably learned that there are people able to forgive in life but that not everybody is like that, he also learned that sometimes just asking form money is better than stealing. Probably this was a better teaching for Roger than being punished by going in to a reformatory were he would have just being thinking about revenge.
3) Lastly what supports my statement is that the boy was taken to prove by Mrs. Jones, she gave him a chance to show her he had learned the lesson by giving him a chance of escaping with the money and without a punishment, but he didn't.
