Audience's and Thesis Statements Purpose


        



            Audience is the main key when writing a paper. If your audience is young kids then you want to use simple, uncomplicated words that they can relate to. If you have a more advanced audience then use more complex words with more structured sentences so they feel like they are reading something from an educated writer.

            Thinking about the topic you are going to write about is another element essential in writing a paper for different audiences. A more advanced topic is needed for  an academic audience. A person that has no interest in certain topic will most likely not even want to read the paper.
           
            Thesis statements are the most important sentence in the first paragraph. This sentence identifies what the paper is going to be about. The statement has to be proved throughout the paper. The thesis statement should be clear, detailed, and purposeful. Academic audiences are going to enjoy reading a paper when the thesis statement is an attention grabber.

            PEE paragraphs are an important structure for writing a paper as well. If the main idea of the paragraph relates to the thesis, evidence supports your point and thesis, and your explanation tells the reader how the evidence supports your point and thesis, then, you have successfully written a PEE paragraph. With this said, everything reflects on the thesis statement, therefore, make sure your thesis is very meaningful.

  1. Ashley, I liked the examples you used in your first paragraph. You also explained the thesis statement and PEE structure will. I like that you said, "make sure your thesis is very meaningful." That makes sense to me.
