To the causal eye, Green Valley, Nevada, a corporate master-planned community just south of Las Vegas, would appear to be a pleasant place to live. On a Sunday last April—a week before the riots in Los Angeles and related disturbances in Las Vegas—the golf carts were lined up three abreast at the up-scale ―Legacy‖ course; people in golf outfits on the clubhouse veranda were eating three-cheese omelets and strawberry waffles and looking out over the palm trees and fairways, talking business and reading Sunday newspapers. In nearby Parkside Village, one of Green Valley’s thirty-five developments, a few homeowners washed cars or boats or pulled up weeds in the sun. Cars wound slowly over clean broad streets, ferrying children to swimming pools and backyard barbeques and Cineplex matinees. At the Silver Springs tennis courts, a well-tanned teenage boy in tennis togs pummeled his sweating father. Two twelve-year-old daredevils on expensive mountain bikes, decked out in Chicago Bulls caps and matching tank tops, watched and ate chocolate candies.

She stares at her ceiling once again with hundred thoughts "Maybe he knows who I am, probably not" She walks down the hall with her head down low scared to meet his eyes.
Even when she hears his voice she's swarmed with butterflies, it's impossible to get you off my mind. I think about hundred thoughts and you are 99. I've understood that you will never be mine and that's fine I'm just breaking inside. He always walks the crowded halls and is blinded by this light: A girl who keeps her head down low and never shows her eyes. He's tried to talk to her but there's no easy way because every time he raises his voice she runs away. It's impossible to get you off my mind, I think about hundred thoughts and you are 99. I've understood that you will never be mine and that's fine I'm just breaking inside. One day maybe she'll stay and start to head over his way and one day she'll look into his eyes, and instead of breaking she'll call him "mine."
One day he'll grab her by the waist and force them to meet face to face and one day he'll look into her eyes and say that "you're my only light." It's impossible to get you off my mind, I think about hundred thoughts and you are 99. I understand that you will never be mine, and that's fine, I'm just breaking inside.

Historians employ sourcing and contextualization to deeply consider an author’s background and the time and place in which the author lived (context) to better understand the point of view, meaning, and argument of a primary source. When analyzed in this way, understanding the point of view is often called historical perspective, which Sexias and Morton (2013) define as “attempting to see through the eyes of people who lived in times and circumstances far removed from our present-day lives.” In The Big Six: Historical Thinking Concepts, Sexias and Morton provide guidance to teachers to help students in this type of primary source analysis.
Select the link that follows to see how helping students understand historical perspective/point of view is also important for meeting CA Historical and Social Sciences Analysis Skills.Teaching students to source and contextualize aids in developing deep understanding of historical perspective. Students who actively engage in these strategies are more likely to ascertain the author’s point of view or purpose described in Reading Standard 6.

Provide a thesis statement that’s based on one of the questions you answered in part A.
First, review these traits of a good thesis statement:
A thesis statement presents a claim based on your understanding of the literary work.
It should be a statement that you can prove with supporting evidence.
It should be a statement that is open to argument and is not a fact.
It shouldn’t be too narrow or too broad.
Write an introductory paragraph that includes the thesis statement from part B. Keep these points in mind:
Open the paragraph with an interesting fact, quotation, or question to grab the reader's interest.
Include any needed background information about the story or author.
Present a thesis statement stating your claim.
Write two to three body paragraphs that support the thesis statement. You should support your claim with evidence from the short story.
A thesis statement tells a reader how you will interpret the significance of the subject matter under discussion. Such a statement is also called an “argument,” a “main idea,” or a “controlling idea.”
A good thesis has two parts. It should tell what you plan to argue, and it should “telegraph” how you plan to argue—that is, what particular support for your claim is going where in your essay
A standard place for your thesis is at the end of the introductory paragraph.
A thesis is an interpretation of a subject, not the subject itself. The subject, or topic, of an essay might be World War II or Moby ••••; a thesis must then offer a way to understand the war or the novel that others might dispute.
A strong thesis not only grabs the interest of your reader, who now wants to see you support your unique interpretation, it also provides a focus for your argument, one to which every part of your paper refers in the development of your position.
A thesis keeps the writer centered on the matter at hand and reduces the risk of intellectual wandering. Likewise, a thesis provides the reader with a “road map,” clearly laying out the intellectual route ahead.
A thesis statement avoids the first person (“I believe,” “In my opinion”).
A simple equation for what a thesis might look like this:
What you plan to argue + How you plan to argue it = Thesis
Specific Topic+ Attitude/Angle/Argument=Thesis
Steps To Write Effective Thesis Statement
Choose a prompt or, if appropriate, select a topic: television violence and children
Read the prompt carefully or, if appropriate, ask an interesting question:
What are the effects of television violence on children?
Revise the prompt or question into a preliminary or “working” thesis:
Violence on television increases aggressive behavior in children.
Avoid general phrasing and/or sweeping words such as “all” or “none” or “every”.
Lead the reader toward the topic sentences (the subtopics needed to prove the thesis).
Anticipate the counter-arguments. Once you have a working thesis, you should think about what might be said against it. This will help you to refine your thesis, and it will also make you think of the arguments that you’ll need to refute later on in your essay. (Every argument has a counter-argument. If yours doesn’t, then it’s not an argument—it may be a fact, or an opinion, but it is not an argument.)
Violence on television increases aggressive behavior in children.
This statement is on its way to being a thesis. However, it is too easy to imagine possible counter- arguments. For example, an observer of societal trends may believe that parenting or easy access to weapons are important factors in youth violence. If you complicate your thesis by anticipating the counter-argument, you’ll strengthen your argument, as shown in the sentence below.
While poor parenting and easy access to weapons may act as contributory factors, in fact when children are exposed to television violence they become less sensitive to the pain and suffering of others, are more fearful of the world around them, and are more likely to behave in aggressive or harmful ways toward others.
The Components of an Effective Thesis Statement
You can’t just pluck a thesis out of thin air. Even if you have a terrific insight concerning a topic, it won’t be worth much unless you can logically and persuasively support it in the body of your essay. A thesis is the evolutionary result of a thinking process, not a miraculous creation. Formulating a thesis is not the first thing you do after reading an essay assignment.
An effective thesis statement fulfills the following criteria
Substantial– Your thesis should be a claim for which it is easy to answer every reader’s question: “So what?”
Supportable – A thesis must be a claim that you can prove with the evidence at hand (e.g., evidence from your texts or from your research). Your claim should not be outlandish, nor should it be mere personal opinion or preference (e.g., “Frederick Douglass is my favorite historical figure.”) It tackles a subject that could be adequately covered in the format of the project assigned.
Precise – It is focused and specific. A strong thesis proves a point without discussing everything. It clearly asserts your own conclusion based on evidence. Note: Be flexible. It is perfectly okay to change your thesis!
Arguable – It should be contestable, proposing an arguable point with which people could reasonably disagree.
Relevant – If you are responding to an assignment, the thesis should answer the question your teacher has posed. In order to stay focused, pay attention to the task words in the assignment: summarize, argue, compare/contrast, etc.
Aware of Counters– It anticipates and refutes the counter-arguments.
The best thesis statement is a balance of specific details and concise language. Your goal is to articulate an argument in detail without burdening the reader with too much information.
Answer:
Evaluate each body paragraph based on the following points:
Each body paragraph provides evidence that supports your thesis statement.
Each paragraph introduces the central idea of the paragraph.
Each paragraph presents your observations along with supporting evidence from the story.
Each paragraph includes quotations, paraphrases, or summaries at suitable places. All quotations and paraphrases include in-text citation.
