  3. Deconstructed Thesis • In Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse (title/author), the author uses thought-provoking symbols, sharp diction, and complex syntax (adj/directions) to prove complexity constructs simplicity (universal truth).

  4. Parts of the thesis • Title/Author • Direction with Adjective • Universal Truth

  5. Thesis –Based Topic Sentences • Take the thesis parts (A, B, and C) and reorder them to create a fresh sounding topic sentence that has all the appropriate parts. • In Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse • thought-provoking symbols, sharp diction, and complex syntax • Complexity constructs simplicity

  6. Sample Topic sentences • In Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse, the author shows that complexity constructs simplicity through his use of complex syntax. (A, C, B) • Sharp diction is also a device used in Siddhartha to demonstrate that complexity constructs simplicity. (B, A, C) • Another way the text proves that complexity constructs simplicity can be seen through Hermann Hesse’s use of thought-provoking symbols. (C, A, B)
