Analytical thesis statement
An analytical thesis statement is more fluid than the thesis in an argumentative paper. The student does not intend to persuade the audience that his rights are right while others are wrong. Instead, he aims to critically interpret primary and secondary sources throughout the paper. The thesis statement provides a fresh and detailed reading that will be supposed by the student’s research.
Argumentative thesis statement
The thesis statement clearly introduces the topic and informs the audience exactly what stance the author intends to take. The author does not challenge the current accepted stance but rather persuades the audience that their interpretation of the situation is viable.
Research thesis statement
The thesis statement is the final product of an involved process of research, critical thinking, source evaluation, organization, and composition. Primary and secondary sources are the heart of a research paper, and they provide nourishment with these sources.
