Okay, I'm one of those people who hates homework questions, but for some reason I'm in honors english 2 this year, I don't know how I made it, but I did.
Anyway, we have a definition paper, and I have to have the intro paragraph done by Monday. Well I've asked around, and have an okay idea of what a thesis statement is, but I'm still confused on how to come up with one. It's a definition paper, and though I would rather just get help on writing it, as in, I'm not asking for answers, just help on making one. My word is hate, because we had to pick a word to describe the holocaust.
But really what I'm asking is how can I come up with a thesis statement for that. I'm not saying "do my homework" feel free, I don't care, but if you come up with the thesis statement for me, at least tell me how you got it. Please, my teacher doesn't have internet at home so I can't e-mail her. I will love you forever, and I always always always rate!
Additional info, added Monday October 3 2005, 6:38 am: It's a definition paper, the word I'm defining is hate, we can't define the word in the thesis statement, and this is what I've come up with so far, please let me know if it's good!!
The word hate cannot be summed into one defintion, but can only be extensively researched to find its true meaning.

For the word hate, you could say something like: Hate is not beneficial today, and it never has been. Hate has evolved from something rare to something extreme and intense:so intense that it led to 11 million murders.
