As any definition essay deals with defining a certain term, idea or concept it goes without saying that it thesis statement should contain the essence, the most important part and meaning of the whole definition presented to the reader. Basically, it is the thesis statement that reveals the level of the definition essay as it reveals the author’s ability to single out the most crucial part of the definition of the term. It is important to mention the fact that the dictionary only helps the author to write a correct thesis statement as it provides the author with several variations and interpretations of the term. In other words the author of the thesis statement needs to understand the meaning of the term and present it to the reader using his own language and explaining the general idea of the term. In order to do so the author needs to put the borders to the definition that will be presented to the reader in the thesis statement of the definition essay.
