Thesis Statement For Slavery
A.Thesis Statement: The reason slavery was supported is because it made the owners enormous amounts of money, but when it came to freeing them it could only be done by war. If the Slaves succeeded in rebelling against the slave owners others could have been encouraged to change the order of classes.
B.Evidence Used:
1. Thousands of slaves were brought over in boats like animals.
2. If something wrong was done they would get whipped, lashes, a numerous amount of times.
3. There were so many slaves that owners feared them rebelling against.
4. Slavery was so horrible that they would have to run away and hide a great distance away.

c) Other sources that I would read are journals of those that were involved in incidents similar to these so that I get a better perspective of their thoughts, opinions, and what they think should be done.
D. Observations/Questions:
1. How do we look back on our history, see in terror how cruel we acted, and then continue to treat those under us the exact same way?
2. Where did the racism towards blacks start from, for it has been going on for hundreds of years, but where did it all spread from

Thesis Statement Water pollution has had devastating effects on the environment, which include irreversible effects to the ocean's ecosystem, health problems and abnormal conditions. interference of the ocean's ecosystem – Plastic storage bags can kill animals in the oceans like dolphins, turtles and whales. It is easy for wildlife to swallow and eventually causes death. * Over 1.5 billion tons of plastic water bottles end up in US landfills each year. It takes over 300 years to degrade. health problems –Spread of diseases * Lead. Lead is hazardous to health as it accumulates in the body and affects the central nervous system. Children and pregnant women are most at risk. * Fluoride. Excess fluorides can cause...show more content...
The chemical poisoning in water have a great impact on humans because it can cause brain damage and physical deformities in unborn fetuses. Pollution disrupts the natural food chain as well. Pollutants such as lead and cadmium are eaten by tiny animals. Later, these animals are consumed by fish and shellfish, and the food chain continues to be disrupted at all higher levels. Eventually, humans are affected by this process as well. People can get diseases such as hepatitis by eating seafood that has been poisoned. Besides, Water pollutants introduce abnormal conditions (harmful chemicals, changes in water temperatures) into water bodies, disrupting existing ecosystems and can potentially contribute to reducing biodiversity in that affected area – one of the effects of water pollution. For example, the discharge of heated–up water from thermal and nuclear power plants into a river can cause problems for aquatic organisms, which are fairly used to specific temperatures. The increase in water temperatures could increase their metabolic rates and hence their need for food. This could eventually lead to the depletion of food sources in that water region and in turn cause a reduction in species population in that water region. Besides thermal pollution, water could also be polluted via the entry of acidic substances into the water bodies through rivers, seas and oceans. The effects of water pollution by this process, known as

Part One: Using what you have learned in English class, change the following topics into thesis statements. Remember: subject + the side of the argument + 3 main points = thesis. State your own opinion on the topic along with 2–3 reasons for support.
THIS IS FORMAL WRITING. Example– Topic: Controlling the pet population through spaying and neutering Thesis: Controlling the pet population through spaying and neutering is very important because it helps prevent the birth of unwanted and neglected animals. It also improves a pet's health and reduces unruly behavior in animals. 1. TOPIC: Changing high schools
