I would like you to submit the worst possible thesis for your paper topic. What makes a terrible thesis? How do you know the difference in a workable focus/thesis for your paper and a statement? Impress me with your skills of pointless thesis writing.

Five examples of Macbeth's obsession with chocolate.
I am writing about Shakespeare's worthless plays and how it relates to your terribly boring class.
In this essay I will tell you about Romeo and Juliet.
Shakespeare uses supernatural themes in Macbeth. What is a supernatural theme?
Here is three reasons why I thinks that Shylock is a victim instead of a villian in William H. Shakespeare's excellent, fantastic, incredible play The Mercant of Venice. (Notice the horrific grammar mistakes)
This dead guy named Shmakespeare wrote something names Taming of the Brew and it was a play and it has realtionships in it.
The Taming of the Shrew is a very interesting play. Marriage is a theme of the play and so are gender roles. Good right? Haha...A good thesis outlines your paper and a bad one does not. If you have a good thesis, then more than likely, you will have a good paper. If you have a horrible thesis, you will have a horrible paper.
Below are some examples of when gender role reversal are seen in Macbeth.
In this paper I will tell you about Romeo and Juliet and explain why they died.
in this paper i will tell you about shakespeares play romeo and juliet
And these are the three reasons why chuck norris is cooler than shakespeare.
This essay will concentrate, then, on ways in which Winterson confronts the linguistic problems of narrating a romance, starting with her admission that the entire subject of love has been verbalized so extensively and repeatedly that it is almost impossible to write anything new about the experience. Her subject is less love than the problems associated with describing it in narrative or textual form. I will show how Winterson, facing the unavoidable necessity of falling back on the cliched language of love, uses such language against itself.
"Written on the Body" is certainly not Shakesperean, and probably outside the scope of your class (an excellent book nonetheless!), but the phrase "uses such language against itself" announces this paper as so ruthlessly gobbledygook-y it could make a Soviet propagandist cry.
And let me just say, what a fun blog post! The "Chuck Norris" example from a student made me laugh so hard I almost spit out my coffee!
