                                              I, the miserable and the abandoned, am an abortion, 
                                                  to be spurned at, and kicked, and trampled on.


In Walton’s final letter to his sister, he recounts the words that the monster speaks to him over Victor’s dead body. This eruption of angry self-pity as the monster questions the injustice of how he has been treated compellingly captures his inner life, giving Walton and the reader a glimpse into the suffering that has motivated his crimes. This line also evokes the motif of abortion: the monster is an unwanted life, a creation abandoned and shunned by his creator.

Creating a thesis sentence

A thesis statement is a sentence or group of sentences that present the main idea, or the focus, of an essay.

Slide 19 - Slide

Creating a thesis statement
Step 1: Determine what kind of paper you are writing

An analytical paper breaks down an issue or an idea into its component parts, evaluates the issue or idea, and presents this breakdown and evaluation to the audience.

An expository (explanatory) paper explains something to the audience.

An argumentative paper makes a claim about a topic and justifies this claim with specific evidence. The claim could be an opinion, a policy proposal, an evaluation, a cause-and-effect statement, or an interpretation. The goal of the argumentative paper is to convince the audience that the claim is true based on the evidence provided.

Creating a thesis statement
Step 2: Your thesis statement should be specific—it should cover only what you will discuss in your paper and should be supported with specific evidence.

Step 3: The thesis statement usually appears at the end of the first paragraph of a paper.

Step 4: Your topic may change as you write, so you may need to revise your thesis statement to reflect exactly what you have discussed in the paper.
