“Implications of Parent-Child Relationships for Emerging Adults” in which you answered the reading questions associated with this article. For this assignment, write a short essay (minimum 600 words or 2 pages) which answers the following: • What is the main point (thesis) of the article? Discuss this thoroughly, but also point out the specific sentence or two that represents what you feel the author’s direct thesis is. Keep in mind this is not always found in the opening paragraph. • What evidence did the author use to support their thesis? Give examples through paraphrases and quotations to develop your discussion. Avoid simply summarizing the support, but rather work on making connections to HOW this supports the thesis. I must see phrasing like “This evidence is supportive because….” • Do you agree or disagree with the author’s thesis? Here you can get personal by explaining your thoughts and connections to the author’s main point and making connections to your own experiences or understanding of the topic.
