  1. Hi Devin!
    This is for the thesis comment. First off your charts are so good! I can tell you went into a lot of work analyzing the story. I think a good thesis for this story could be something along the lines of this guy keeps thinking he sees a 'sasquatch' but nobody else sees it or seems to care like the fish and game officer. I think this story could definetly fall under the category of being false.

  2. Thesis Comment: Lots to work with here, good job! This author seems to have a lot of assumption that he isn't alone, and that his word is the truth. In building your thesis, keep this overall tone of "my word and experience is IT" in mind, but also keep in mind that this person may feel as though they ARE right, and that they HAVE seen bigfoot. How are they trying to convince us?
