read the paragraph.


Violence in video games is essentially to blame for violence in our society. When children are bombarded with monstrous images, they begin to think that these types of actions are normal or acceptable. Children and teenagers are spending excessive numbers of hours playing video games, and they may begin to use them as a guideline for how to act and behave. Even if they do not perform violent actions, they may become less sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of others because of what they see reflected in these games.


The author most likely uses the word monstrous rather than the word “unpleasant” because it has


a more positive connotation than the word “unpleasant.”

a more negative connotation than the word “unpleasant.”

a more neutral connotation than the word “unpleasant.”

almost the same connotation as the word “unpleasant.”

Is this a Weak or Strong thesis statement and WHY.

Students should be required to wear school uniforms because uniforms keep students attentive on their education, reduce bullying, and peer pressure situations, and foster community spirit and pride.

Answers

Answer:

This is a strong thesis statement.

Explanation:

This is a great thesis statement! It doesn't give too much info about what will be in the essay, gives a brief intro on why and what the essay will be about, and what you will be speaking on. But, one thing: I would reccomend a hook to catch the reader's attention.  

I believe it is a strong thesis if you can provide evidence for it.

The tent, illumined by a candle, glowed warmly in the midst of the white plain; and when he, as a matter of course, entered it, both Perrault and Francois bombarded him with curses and cooking utensils, till he recovered from his consternation and fled ignominiously into the outer cold. A chill wind was blowing that nipped him sharply and bit with especial venom into his wounded shoulder. He lay down on the snow and attempted to sleep, but the frost soon drove him shivering to his feet. Miserable and disconsolate, he wandered about among the many tents, only to find that one place was as cold as another.
