In the passage, “First” by Ryan Van Meter the author takes use of a very subtle thesis that is found in the first paragraph. The purpose of a thesis is to let the reader get a general idea about the reading. A thesis should give readers a clear sense of what the passage/paper will be about and its specific focus. It should also outline and highlight the specific details of importance in the passage.
Meters passage is about him looking back as a kid and discovering who he is as a person. In “First” the thesis was, “What I know for certain right now is that I love him, and I need to tell him this fact before we return to our separate houses, next door to each other.” He uses this as his thesis because it sets the tone of the entire narrative
