What revision, if any, is needed to make this thesis statement more effective?


In the novel Lord of the Flies, William Golding uses Ralph, with his leadership, initial optimism, and naivete, as a symbol for order and civilization.


a) It needs to address meaning, or the "so what?"

b) It needs to be arguable or defensible.

c) It should provide evidence for the position.

d) It should provide the last names of characters.

e) No revision is needed; the thesis is effective.

Answers

Answer 1

In order for the thesis statement to be more effective, it must be arguable or defensible.

A strong thesis statement provides direction to the essay or paper and creates a focus or limits the scope of the subject. It also provides the readers with information about what the body of the thesis is all about.

What are the qualities of an effective thesis statement?

Below are qualities of a good/effective thesis statement:

It must be argumentative. A statement of fact such as "all automobiles require an engine" is a statement of fact that cannot be refuted, hence,  an ineffective thesis statement.

Specificity. Broad is not good. Focused and specific is great.

Engaging. A provocative or interesting statement always trumps a bland one. The thesis statement is supposed to serve as a hook that draws the reader into your thoughts.

The correct answer, therefore, is B.

STORY: The Elevator by William Sleator

Answers

Answer:

THEME: It is better to face your fears than to avoid them.

The author encourages readers to confront their fears rather than avoid them. Martin's fear was able to track him down because he had fled from it.

EVIDENCE FROM THE STORY:

12-year-old. Martin dreads being alone in an elevator and feels nervous in the elevator with others. He states: "That was what he hated about being alone in the thing—the fear of being trapped in there for hours by himself." He can't decide between the stairs and the elevator because of the overweight woman. The elevator portrays the big woman, while the stairs reflect his father's frailty.

The time required a music degree is 3-4 years for a Bachelor of Music degree, 1-2 years for a Master of Music degree, and 3-5 years for a Doctor of Musical Arts or Doctor of Music Degree. (complete)

Answers

Bachelor of Music (BM) or Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA)
Music schools see the BM or BFA degree as an intensive program that prepares students to be professional musicians. As a BM or BFA candidate, you’ll embark upon your four-year curriculum starting on day one (an important consideration for students considering transferring or changing their major). Music classes will take up two-thirds to three-quarters of your classes, depending on which school you attend.

Music schools offering BM or BFA degrees within universities will require you to take specific music and non-music classes. This pushes you to maintain your writing and reading skills and gives you an opportunity to round out your education. As a BM or BFA candidate, you’ll perform a recital in your junior and/or senior year.

Some schools will give you credit for AP or IB exams taken in high school. You may also be able to test out of lower level requirements. But in general, the BM or BFA degree requirements are lengthy and limit the number of electives you’ll have room for in your schedule.

BM and BFA music students who want to graduate in four years may have a hard time fitting study abroad into the regular school year. They should also realize that friends who are pursuing degrees in other areas may be able to start college as sophomores, thanks to high AP/IB test scores, but that the BM and BFA degrees are typically non-negotiable four-year programs.

Bachelor of Music Education (BME)
The BME degree prepares you for a career in teaching K-12 vocal and instrumental music, along with the preparation necessary to gain state licensure. Be sure to check licensure requirements in the state where you think you’ll want to work, as this may inform your decision about where you’ll want to go to school.

As a BME student, your curriculum will include a combination of music education courses, conducting, music theory, aural skills, and music history. You will study a major instrument, take methods courses, and gain experience through observation and supervised teaching in classroom situations. You will student teach, attend workshops and events for current and future teachers, and gain exposure to a host of professional development opportunities. You will also take a required number of liberal arts courses as well as music technology classes.

Bachelor of Arts in Music (BA)
If you want to study music but also want the flexibility to prepare for a career in another field or in a field of music not addressed by other programs or departments, you may consider the BA in music degree. Approximately one-fourth to one-third of your credits will be in music, depending on the school you attend. The other requirements will be in musicianship, general education, and electives, based on your interests. Because there is more flexibility with a BA degree, you are more likely to be able to take a semester abroad during the school year, while still graduating in four years.

Bachelor of Science in Music (BS)
The BS degree is offered at some schools where the emphasis is more business-oriented. Music business and music industry majors are likely to find themselves getting BS degrees. Some schools also offer the BS for music education and sound recording technology.

Double or Dual Degrees
Universities that house their own music colleges, conservatories or schools typically make it possible for students to get a music degree in conjunction with a degree in a separate field.

Some independent conservatories offer degree programs in conjunction with universities (e.g., New England Conservatory + Harvard University; New England Conservatory + Tufts University; The Juilliard School + Columbia University). Check to find out whether these are four- or five-year
