Reply:The thesis statement is the idea that the rest of the paper will reinforce. Choose something you can defend.


Pride and Prejudice reflects the ways to which an oppressed class - in this case women - works to achieve its goals.


Pride and Prejudice portrays a very narrow view of the England of its time.


Pride and Prejudice is a mirror of its times.


Pride and Prejudice shows us the importance of dress in defining social status.


Pride and Prejudice reflects the crippling importance of status in the middle class.


Make your statement then look for examples. You might compare England of the day with other countries; you might contrast this book with one like Tom Jones; you might draw parallels to family life today.


The trick is not to know everything, but to choose a topic you can handle concisely.
