position paper
Initially,i think that writing a position paper would be tough as i have never done it before. Thinking of a thesis statement was not as easy as it sounds. I have chosen to analyze the short story entitled "A Great Injustice".The reason that i have chosen this text is that the story deals with an interesting issue and besides that, it is an interesting story. The text deals with the issue of inequality in life and the dilemma of a girl who gets pregnant out of wedlock. Initially, i would like to analyze on how the society have effected Ah Nya in committing the abortion. My first thesis statement was "internal conflict that Ah Nya faced due to society's reaction towards unmarried mother forces her to commit abortion".Later i realized that most of my fellow course mates have a similar thesis statement. Then, in order to have an interesting thesis statement, i need to think different from others. I need to see the text in a different point of view. Then i decided to see the text from Ah Nya's perspective. My thesis statement was later changed into "Society did not cause the abortion but it was Ah Nya". I have analyzed the reason of why Ah Nya is guilty by deciding to abort the baby.During teh presentation, my friends told me that they liked my thesis statement as i see things from different from point of view. Let us just hope that Mr Omit enjoy reading it...
