Forum: Final Paper Peer Review of thesis and 3 body paragraphs

In regard to this thesis “Literature is dynamic in its own way, but still is able to create collective meaning and this is what will be addressed in the paper”, I think there is more to say here in order to show your reader what you seek to prove by the end of the paper.

This is the feedback my professor give it to me last time.

Reminders:

– This forum is only focusing on reviewing the thesis and paragraphs, but as the prompt states, you need much more than a thesis and 3 paragraphs for your essay.

– Your post and replies must be original and dissimilar to other students. This will be factored into earning points. Be sure to read through the discussion thread and create an original post and reply. If your ideas are similar to another student that has posted before you, you should mention him/her and build on their comment in your post. **Evidence of reading though the discussion thread is factored into earning points.
