Tutorial Session 2

The tutorial today has brought me one step further into the knowledge of writing the appropriate thesis statement regarding to the literary text chosen. We were examining the love story of "Pyramus and Thisbe" in Ovid's Metamorphosis to find the thesis statement of the story. I noticed that from the same story that I read with my course mates, there are several thesis statements that we can made from many different point of views.

For example: "The possessive love between Pyramus and Thisbe leads to foolishness in their action(s)." The supporting ideas are surrounded with the explanation of the possessive love described by the writer and several foolishness in the characters' action.

Also, there is a coursemate who has makes a thesis statement from a different points of view, which is " The pains are more than happiness in Pyramus and Thisbe's love". All the pains that the characters have encountered in the love became the suporting ideas of this statement.

As for myself, I have came up with the statement of "Pyramus and Thisbe's love has led them to make unwise decisions that resulted them to commit suicide." As for the moment, I still think this statement can be implemented to become a better one. Therefore, I will talk about it with sufficient supporting ideas that discovered the unwise decisions the characters have made in the story.

All in all, the Session 2 tutorial has helped me much in the progress of drafting out my position paper with the relationship between the thesis statement and the supporting ideas explained by our tutor.
