It tells the reader what the paper is all about, Like at the end of your introduction.

A thesis stament is sort of like an abstract. It's basically an outline of what your paper is about to say. it's like a narrative of your report. the same way a speaker is introduced before their speech, your paper has an intro also.

a thesis statement is really the last sentence in your introduction that sums up and tells the reader what the essay is about.

ex. I think ____________(topic) because ___________ (what your first paragraph is about) and _____________ (what your second paragraph is about)

so basically you say your topic and then reasons to support that which will be said in later paragraphs.

A thesis statement is an introdoctory sentence or or paragraph but it is very developed. for example if you were writing it on a book:
In the book *title* by *author* *main character* the main character goes though many changes such as ,*thing*, thing,AND THING.
hope this helps

Sherry answered Sunday January 15 2006, 3:47 pm:
A thesis statement is the topic, and two (or more, depending on how many paragraphs you do) reasons why your talking about the essay. It goes in the last sentence of your intro paragraph.

For example "I do not agree with school rules on dress code(topic) because they dont let you express your individuality(reason 1, paragraph 1) and they dont make sense (reason 2, paragraph 2)

Get it? I hope I didnt confuse you.
If you need more help you can always send me a personal question to my inbox! =)

A thesis statement is a paragraph. But the last sentence in the paragraph is the sentence that you're going to talk about it your whole essay..or summary..whatever your doing.

Get it? So just use the summary that you did now & at the end of the summary just add the sentence explaning what your going to talk about.

A thesis statement is what you are going to prove in your essay or in your case your summary.
