Education & Reference - 19 November 2007

I'm having some serious trouble. I've read and read online about thesis statements but I'm still having trouble figuring out how to do it. I ALWAYS have trouble doing it, I always get my essays marked off and I'm an English major! So I need some serious help.

I'm doing a compare/contrast essay about The Revolt of Mother, and The Yellow Wallpaper, this is my introduction paragraph:

For centuries women have felt inferior toward men. Even today, women feel they shouldn’t participate in things supposedly reserved for men. In the late 1800’s, when The Revolt of Mother by Mary E Wilkins Freeman and The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman were published, women’s rights was a more trivial idea than today. These two stories express women in situations were their voices are no more important than a duck squawking, and seemingly are not treated the way they deserve. In the Revolt of Mother, Sarah, refuses to be unheard and treated no better than a farm animal, so she takes a stand.

"To summarize, our results indicate that the well-known monday effect is caused largely by the mondays of the last two weeks of the month. The mean monday return of the first three weeks of the month is, in general, >>>not significantly different from zero<<< and is generally significantly higher than the mean monday return of the last two weeks. Our finding seems to make it more difficult to explain the monday effect."

My assignment is to choose two pieces of children's literature (preferably from pre-K to grade 2) and compare and contrast both pieces based on their setting, character and so on.
