Are you writing a paper and confused by your teacher’s instruction? Do you want to help your teenager with a school essay but feel lost as to what advice to give? Are you returning to school yourself, after years away, and find that first essay assignment overwhelming? Is there a local or state issue that you need to write a legislature about but are unsure of how to structure your thoughts?   Everyone runs into these situations at some point. People need to know how to state their viewpoints, how to support their views and how to present information properly. Considering that the writing process takes most writers years to perfect, it is common for teenagers and professional adults alike to struggle with writing.  Few writers are masterful essayists when they start out.  Writing and supporting a strong thesis statement takes time and practice. Many writers struggle with constructing a thesis and how to support one with valid information.  Thesis statements (theses) are probably the most challenging elements of essay writing. In this book, we attempt to present the crafting of thesis statements and their support in a simple, straightforward manner.     Think that thesis statements are only for high school essays? Think again.      Citizens who write letters to government representatives use thesis statements to voice their opinions and use data to support them. Consumers reach out to businesses to suggest product improvements and make requests. Business professionals communicate in memos, emails and letters to colleagues and other businesses about products and services, and they use thesis statements to make their points.  Like all of the books in the Simple Guide Books series, The Simple Guide to Thesis Statements and Support is written for the person who may struggle with this topic and the person who needs basic explanations with straightforward examples. The book helps students, parents and professionals alike to achieve their goals of improving their writing efficiently.    All writers encounter thesis statements and support at some point. Student writers, from elementary school through graduate levels, compose and defend thesis statements in essays. As well, workers in every profession write thesis statements for a variety of purposes.

<p>“I will never be good enough. Everyone is better than me and I will never measure up.” Sometimes when we see people on television, we think we need to be like them with fancy houses, beautiful hair, or glamorous lives.

Trinidad realizes that the people living nearby are the valuable people in one’s life. The book Trinidad takes readers through the appreciation of the people most important in our lives. This book is a celebration of childhood, family, friends, art, and language. Trinidad is written in English and Spanish and features a non-gender specific character.

Get an easy $2.00 solution to the dreaded ABS, Hill Descent, and Traction Control problem. Plus many more permanent and easy solutions.  Mechanics really do have an advantage over the average Joe and save a ton of money on vehicle ownership. I hope to help you gain this same advantage.  As a mechanic for 15 years, I always regarded Land Rovers with an abundance of respect and even a little fear. The engineering that went in to these vehicles is nothing short of astounding. Unfortunately they also came with a few gremlins.  After repairing a handful of Rovers I realized that my fear was unfounded and so was the vehicles reputation. I also realized how simply built and easy to work on Land Rovers are. After all the engine was designed in the late 1950's.    After retiring from the automotive repair world, I finally purchased a 2004 Discovery and fell in love. I also found a few issues that I did not expect. After some digging, I found simple, inexpensive solutions to most of these problems and decided to share them in this book.
