WHAT IS A THESIS

What is a thesis?  Whenever we write a paper or read a paper, the first step to always take is t identify what the paper is about or what point or conclusion the author is trying to get across to us.  There are often times where the author will unveil the thesis or the main topic of the paper or article we are reading; however there are also some writers who will play keep us in suspense and not really give us the thesis or main topic until the middle of the paper or article, there are even those who leave the thesis to the end of your readings.  The thesis is the center foundation of the work, it brings the reader full circle and lets them know the purpose of that paper or article being written.  The thesis of my Doc 1 will be are the police getting away with cold murder? I cant wait to read the different teams in the class papers and identify their different thesis, I want to see the different angles which will be taken on the papers, and also see the different views each has on police using excessive force.
