What stood out to me the most was on the first page. I knew how important a thesis was but I never thought about having a strong or weak thesis. A strong thesis is such an important part to a paper because it questions an idea, allowing the writer to back it up with information. After reading this chapter about the importance of a thesis statement, I feel like I've learned a better way to approach writing one. I feel like my thesis from my last paper does a great job addressing my paper and idea.
