My final paper is focused on Long Island City, Queens. Besides its convenience of getting to either Manhattan or Brooklyn quickly, I want to discuss how it became known as “cultural center of Queens.” I want to do that in a step by step format arguing that Long Island City it attracts a new generational and more modern form of art. This, in turn, defines its vibrancy and why it is such a landmark of Queens.
Although I have an idea of what argument I want to make, I don’t have firm idea of how to word it and put it into a thesis. I feel also that this idea should take more of a stance. There are plenty of information and articles tying Long Island City to art. I also want to add how it has commercially developed and attracted businesses because of its growing resident population.
Right now I am toying with plenty ideas, but have to find a way to narrow it down to a firm argument.

I think that the topic of Long Island City is a good one and that you should have no problem finding an argumentative thesis. I have only been to Long Island City once and my experience there showed me the rich culture and unique architectue that is there. If you don’t live there already I would say just visit there one day and see where that takes you. You might even think of a thesis while you’re there.
