Today in class we talked about the 2 types of thesis statements. The first type is the 3 point thesis statement. The 3 point thesis statement is the thesis where you state your position and 3 claims. This is used for smaller essays. The second type is the umbrella thesis statement. The umbrella thesis statement is where you state your topic , the point, and allude to the claim. This is used for larger essay, where you need to broaden your claim to have more to talk about.
Today in class we read a short story that wasn't really short. The was called Rockpile by James Baldwin. We had a discussion about the story in class. The story was about a hangout for older kids called the rockpile. The rockpile was considered a bad place for younger kids because it was dangerous. One day Johns brother Roy decided to go to the rockpile even though their mother told them not to. While at the rockpile their was a gang fight and Roy was injured. The father tried to blame John but the mother defended him.
