Testing a working thesis

• Is the thesis too obvious? If you cannot come up with interpretations that oppose your own, consider revising your thesis.
• Can you support your thesis with the evidence available?
• Does the thesis require an essay’s worth of development? Or will you run out of points too quickly?
• Can you explain why readers will want to read an essay with this thesis?
