From THESIS to ESSAY: Thesis statement = an argument (you must prove this argument using descriptive evidence)

Thesis: 3 main reasons WHY this person is a hero Example: Brian is my hero because he is brave, hardworking, and cares for others. Body Paragraph #1: Focus only on how Brian is BRAVE One of the reasons that Brian is my hero is because he is brave. One time, when I was little, he saved me from drowning in a lake. He is also firefighter and shows his bravery when he runs into burning buildings. Sometimes, he tells me that he get scared running into those buildings, but he does it anyways. I think that is true courage doing something that you know is right, even when you are afraid. Aside from being brave, my cousin Brain is one of the hardest workers I know The last thing that makes Brian my hero is that he cares about people other than himself
