Welcome to PaperStarter.com
PaperStarter.com offers students of all levels assistance in coming up with a workable thesis statement or essay topic. Here you will find detailed paper topics, essay ideas, thesis statements (that can also be used as study questions or essay prompts) on many novels, short stories, and plays with explanations on how to move from the initial idea to the final product. In addition to the thesis statements, each text also has a corresponding list of some of the most important quotes. These important quotations explained will not only help to provide textual evidence within a quality essay, but might also lead to new ideas about possible themes to explore aside from those already listed. You can use these thesis statements and quotes as a study guide to help you plan for your essay and they might even provide you with prompts we didn't think to include. In short, by using PaperStarter.com as a resource, students are encouraged to think for themselves about the plot and meanings of books—something that will be demonstrated through an essay full of original ideas and insights. Whether these are used as thesis statements alone, essay starters, or general study questions, students will have a greater chance to connect with important works of literature. After all, sometimes all it takes to create an “A” essay is a little push in the right direction…
The following is a current list of all the titles arranged in alphabetical order by the book or story title. Every text listed here acts as both a study guide and group of essay starters by offering students between 3-5 well-explained, detailed, unique, and insightful possible thesis statements. Following each set of essay topics and thesis statements is a list of around ten or more important quotes from the text. Most contain page numbers and the edition of the text cited so you can easily find the quotes in your book and look for more that are related. Just click on the link to the title you want and you'll be transported to a place where essay writing becomes instantly less stressful and students can find a summary and analysis of the most important aspects of books.
