We are completing The Tempest. We practiced developing a thesis sentence using the three-part thesis formula. This is the type of thesis sentence I'd like students to use in their book report essay.

-Love can be showed thru multiple ways. Caliban loves the island, Ariel loves natural freedom and Prospero loves his daughter dearly.

Three-Part Theses on Themes from the Tempest
Forgiveness v. Revenge:
While Prospero had been deeply aggrieved by his deceitful brother, he is still a compassionate person, because he ultimately forgives all those who plotted against him.
Power:
Although Caliban had been “his own king” on the uninhabited island until Prospero landed there, he is a weak-willed creature, because he immediately welcomed the idea of a new master who could supply for his alcoholic addiction.
Justice:
Even though at times Prospero seemed like a vengeful tyrant bent on destroying his enemies, he manages to persuade the audience of the righteousness of his case after cleverly utilizing his magical abilities to his advantage.
