Figuring Out the Thesis #6

Preach My Gospel states more or less that "nothing happens in missionary work until you have someone to teach." In a similar fashion, nothing happens in a paper until a thesis statement is developed and backed by substantial research. I'm having a hard time applying that concept to my paper. We just reviewed a couple of thesis statements. Some were good some were not so good. As I read some of those statement I was reminded of the incompleteness of my own thesis. I'm at my wits end coming up with a coherent argument.

I shouldn't be so hard on myself. I have a thesis statement, it's just the research that has been putting a thorn in my side. I feel like my topic is very arguable. I think being influenced by ancestors is an arguable topic. Some people are to ignorant to even acknowledge the fact that relatives are a contributing factor in their lives. The tragedy is that not enough researches are willing to research that topic. That is what it seems like anyway. I have been looking high and low and it seems like I can't find anything.

Hold up... Professor Steadman gave me a sweet idea.... Stay tuned.
