No, it is generally the last sentence in the first paragraph.

A thesis statement:
tells the reader how you will interpret the significance of the subject matter under discussion.
is a road map for the paper; in other words, it tells the reader what to expect from the rest of the paper.
directly answers the question asked of you. A thesis is an interpretation of a question or subject, not the subject itself. The subject, or topic, of an essay might be World War II or Moby Dick; a thesis must then offer a way to understand the war or the novel that others might dispute.
is usually a single sentence somewhere in your first paragraph that presents your argument to the reader. The rest of the paper, the body of the essay, gathers and organizes evidence that will persuade the reader of the logic of your interpretation.

No, the thesis statement is the actual argument of your essay. It's what you're trying to prove and demonstrate in the rest of the paper.
Your title can be anything you want.

No, it is your point of view, position on a subject, or main idea of the entire essay. It is usually the last sentence of the first paragraph, commonly called the introduction. Don't confuse this with the "topic sentence" which is usually placed at the beginning of each of the following body paragraphs and states the main idea of that paragraph alone.
Your title should represent the subject you're talking about in a brief, interesting way.
Good luck !

The thesis statement is a clear sentence that describes what you're trying to argue. Depending on what your paper is for, it might be in the first paragraph or the last. Or both.

A thesis statement declares what you believe and what you intend to prove. A good thesis statement makes the difference between a thoughtful research project and a simple retelling of facts.

the thesis statement is in the body of the essay. It is your topic sentence explaining your point of view on the topic you are discussing. It comes usually after the end of the first paragraph.

Reading the e book instead of seeing the movie is the ultimate way to see what the writer intended. Reading uses your thoughts, hones your reading skills, and can make your vocabulary

No it is usually the first sentence of the essay. Oops no she's right, last sentence in first paragraph.
