as barbaric? A surging, seething, murmuring crowd of beings that are human only in name, for to the eye and ear they seem naught but savage creatures, animated by vile passions and by the lust of vengeance and of hate. The hour, some little time before sunset, and the place, the West Barricade, at the very spot where, a decade later, a proud tyrant raised an undying monument to the nation's glory and his own vanity. During the greater part of the day the guillotine had been kept busy at its ghastly work: all that France had boasted of in the past centuries, of ancient names, and blue blood, had paid toll to her desire for liberty and for fraternity. The carnage had only ceased at this late hour of the day because there were other more interesting sights for the people to witness, a little while before the final closing of the barricades for the night. And so the crowd rushed away from the Place de la Greve and made for the various barricades in order to watch this interesting and amusing sight. It was to be seen every day, for those aristos were such fools! They were traitors to the people of course, all of them, men, women, and children, who happened to be descendants of the great men who since the Crusades had made the glory of France: her old NOBLESSE. Their ancestors had oppressed the people, had crushed them under the scarlet heels of their dainty buckled shoes, and now the people had become the rulers of France and crushed their former masters—not beneath their heel, for they went shoeless mostly in these days—but a more effectual weight, the knife of the guillotine.

<em>Which sentence in this excerpt from President Richard Nixon's speech "The Great Silent Majority" contains the thesis statement? </em>

<em>The correct answer is: Let us all understand that the question before us is not whether some Americans are for peace and some Americans are against peace. The question at issue is not whether Johnson's war becomes Nixon's war. The great question is: How can we win America’s peace?   </em>

  • <em>This sentence contains the thesis statement. The topic is, “How can we win America’s peace?” And how does President Nixon control the ideas of his thesis? First, he says what the question is not, he says that it is not about who is against or in favor of peace, or who started Vietnam War. When Nixon says what the question is not, helps us in being more objective with the topic, he urges not to fall into the misconceptions of the topic and to focus on what really matters: “How can we win America’s peace?” In addition, when Nixon says what the question is not, he is reflecting his opinion, or judgment.  </em>
