Thesis Continued
• Which thesis below satisfies the
requirements of a critical thesis:
– I will show that Ventura focuses on love in
a limited manner
– I show that Ventura ’ s notion of love is
problematic
– Ventura
’ s notion of love is narrowly
focused on passion, or physical attraction,
making it problematically limited
• What should you consider when you
are deriving your thesis for your
MODR final Critical Essay?

Another thesis:
• Although Ventura may be correct in assuming
passion and security in the same relationship
are a modern endeavour, his claim that they are
not sustainable in the same relationship is
demonstrated with several hasty
generalizations, which leads to a narrow idea of
a “relationship.” If Ventura expanded his
argumentative mode to include the emotional
mode, I show that he might be able to
strengthen his argument.
