Discussion Item Two – A main point is NOT an arbitrary sentence taken out of context. Discussion Item Four – A main point in an essay should be readily detectible in the thesis statement, which guides the reader to an understanding of the argument that will be made. Discussion Item Five Main points in journal articles can usually be found in the topic sentences in the body of the article. Discussion Item Six – Main points may also be found in the conclusion of essays and journal articles, where the author often restates the main points.
