Waypoint MentorTalk through your essay before you write it.
A strong essay starts with a clear argument. Talk through your ideas out loud, and the tutor helps you sharpen a thesis, plan paragraphs that support it, and spot where the argument is thin. It helps you write your essay; it doesn't write it for you.

Weak: "There are many themes in The Great Gatsby." (states a fact, takes no position)
Strong: "Fitzgerald uses Gatsby's parties to expose the emptiness beneath the wealth of the 1920s American elite." (arguable, specific, previews the evidence)
Three things every strong thesis needs
- Takes a position: something a reasonable person could disagree with
- Is specific: names the actual text/evidence, not just a vague topic
- Previews the argument: hints at how you'll prove it, not just what you believe
Quick test: if your thesis could be the answer to "so what?", it's probably still too vague.
