Analytical Thesis Statements. Adapted from Writing Analytically by Rosenwasser and Stephen. To analyze something is to ask what that something means. An analytical essay answers how something does what it does or why it is as it is. Therefore, a thesis statement in an analysis paper should be answering a HOW or WHY. question.
Guidelines for Using Acronyms. 1  Capitalize acronyms, and do not use periods. When acronyms become integrated into the language as common nouns (for example, laser, radar, or scuba), they are no longer capitalized.  When using an acronym the first time, spell the phrase out and follow it with the acronym in parentheses.
Use capitals for proper nouns. In other words, capitalize the names of people, specific places, and things. For example: We don't capitalize the word bridge unless it starts a sentence, but we must capitalize Brooklyn Bridge because it is the name of a specific bridge. OR. The word âcountryâ would not normally be capitalized, but we would have to write China with a capital C because it is the name of a specific country.
