Choosing a thesis statement for an english essay was always a tricky endeavor.
Choose something too obvious, and what’s the point in making the argument?
Choose something too obscure, and you won’t be able to back it up with sources.
The ideal thesis statement is non-obvious, slightly controversial, but provable.
When you’re reading the Great Gatsby, it’s hard to find that sweet spot because it’s all been done before. But when you’re innovating in a new technology field, there are non-obvious and provable points of view everywhere. You might not see them right away, but they are there.
The further toward any edge that you go, the more non-obvious points of view you will start to have.
Find your edge and determine your perspective.
