Essay #2 Thesis Statement

Thesis: As one of the most deadliest terrorist groups in the world, ISIS conducts violent operations outside of Syria by recruiting foreign lone-wolves who are easily manipulated into committing crimes for the sake of “justice and change.”

I am going to be focusing on the process ISIS goes through to plan operations outside of Syria, particularly in Europe, and what their motives are. There was a recent event of the Paris shooting and apparently, ISIS is connected to that. The article that I chose gives the paris perpetrator’s experience with ISIS – recruit, training, and plan initiation.

    The thesis statement is good but just by reading this, I cannot tell what is the specific demographic you are going towards. There is a lot of information about this event because it is horrific and current. Since your thesis statement talks about the recruitment of lone-wolves, I thought you would have put that in the 100 word overall plan

    Ariana,
    Yes, there is no mention of demographic, but more importantly, you need to look, again, at the Essay #2 assignment sheet, which I discussed in class. Remember, your focus is the effectiveness of a writer reaching a specific demographic, in a specific article, essay, or speech. Please read again the assignment sheet!
