what's the difference between thesis and main idea
The main idea is the overall idea of the story. It tells us what or who the story is about. Main idea can be derived from the plot and the characters, it describes the content and the plot details. Identifying the main idea of a text is similar to identifying the subject in a passage. It provides specific details about the text. This is one of the main differences between theme and main idea; unlike the theme, the main idea of a text cannot be applied to another text, as it contains specific information.
thesis statement: a thesis statement is a one sentence summary of a paperâs content. It presents the essayâs subject and a main point about that subject. a thesis = [subject] + [main point about the subject] The main point of a subject can be your opinion/belief about it. for example: A) Television has a lot of commercials.
