1. Provide the context necessary to understand your thesis. When you’re writing for a general audience,
your readers don’t know who you are. They may not know your assignment and may not be familiar with
the issues or texts you are discussing. Thus, you might need to provide background information. If you are
writing about literature, you should include the titles, authors, and publications dates of the text you are
analyzing. Similarly, if you’re writing about a historical event, you should name the event, the date, and the
key people (or countries, or issues) involved. Here’s an example:
Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein was published over 180 years ago. But this remarkable novel raises a ques-
tion that is more important today than ever: What is a creator’s responsibility for his or her creation?
