Without
knowing your purpose, it is difficult to direct you on your thesis statement. However, here are
a few suggestions:
If you are writing about the causes, you could ask a
question in the introduction such as How did a wig and a rock effect a tragic event in American
history? (As you know, the Massacre began after a wigmaker's apprentice, Edward Gerrish, called
out to a British officer, Captain Lieutenant John Goldfinch, that he had not paid his master's
bill; and, another fatal incident occurred a few days before the Boston Massacre when
Christopher Seiden was shot on February 22, 1770, when a fight began between an angry mob and
British royalists who threw rocks at the shop of a Loyalist merchant.) Then,
formulate a thesis of three important points (if you are writing the 5 paragraph essay) on the
idea of odd occurrences as the causes of the Boston Massacre.
Or, if you are writing a descriptive essay, you could write a thesis about facts that are not
commonly known about...
