My Thesis Statement
I believe that Margaret Atwood’s, “The Handmaids Tale”, is a depiction of how bad a society can become when it is based on religious government and not democracy, as well as an insight to how the bible can be manipulated to serve a governments will.

This is a good thesis statement because it can be backed up by some of the religious references in the book. It is assertive and clearly states my point of view. It is definitely arguable, I’m sure not everyone would agree with this thesis statement but because it can be backed up by references in the book, it should make for a good argument. This thesis statement also raises many questions and isn’t to vast of a statement or generalized.
