Here are some suggestions for revising your thesis statements based on the feedback:
1. Check that your thesis statement can be adequately supported within a 6-10 page research paper. Make sure to narrow your topic enough to fit the page requirements but not so much that you lack evidence.
2. Take a clear position that others could reasonably disagree with. Avoid statements that are simply facts or are too vague. For example, instead of "music in the 1930s" specify a claim about "the influence of jazz on American culture in the 1930s."
3. Make your thesis statement as specific as possible. Replace vague words like "good" or "successful" with more precise language. For example, instead of saying a work

Commalicious
- 3. 5. Use a comma to separate coordinate adjectives . You could think of this as "That tall, distinguished, good looking fellow" rule 6. Use a comma to set off quoted elements . Because we don't use quoted material all the time, even when writing, this is probably the most difficult rule to remember in comma usage. Summing up this argument, Peter Coveney writes, "The purpose and strength of the romantic image of the child had been above all to establish a relation between childhood and adult consciousness." 7. Use commas to set off phrases that express contrast. Some say the world will end in ice, not fire. It was her money, not her charm or personality, that first attracted him. The puppies were cute, but very messy.
- 4. 8. Use a comma to avoid confusion . This is often a matter of consistently applying rule #3. For most the year is already finished. For most , the year is already finished. Outside the lawn was cluttered with hundreds of broken branches. Outside , the lawn was cluttered with hundreds of broken branches. 9. Never use only one comma between a subject and its verb. "Believing completely and positively in oneself is essential for success." [Although readers might pause after the word "oneself," there is no reason to put a comma there.] 10. Typographical Reasons: Between a city and a state [Hartford, Connecticut], a date and the year [June 15, 1997], a name and a title when the title comes after the name [Bob Downey, Professor of English], in long numbers [5,456,783 and $14,682], etc. Although you will often see a comma between a name and suffix โ Bob Downey, Jr., Richard Harrison, III โ this comma is no longer regarded as necessary by most copy editors, and some individuals โ such as Martin Luther King Jr. โ never used a comma there at all.
