you somehow need to incorporate your personal feelings. For example, if you think they should not get their license suspended for life, you might want to say something like "Although recieving a DUI is harmful for the individual and can be potentially dangerous for the community, it is not equally fair to suspend the individuals licsne for life for something that can be prevented, or handled through a course or DMV lessons" something random like that

As has been mentioned, your thesis statement must summarize your purpose in writing the paper. It should tell the reader what you plan to prove to them.



I do not know if YOU personally favor a lifetime license suspension for 1st time offenders or not, but THIS MUST BE CLEAR in your paper.



If YOU do, one of your arguments could be... 'Suspended License or Ended Life?'



If you investigate the laws of your local county and state, they can be used as a arguing point for your view as well.



It goes like this:



Introduction: Tell them what you are going to tell them (briefly) using a thesis sentence.

[In this paper I will describe why a person should have their license suspended for DUI after the first/second offense.]



Body: Tell them what you just told them (in detail using specific arguments).



Conclusion: Tell them what you told them in a summary without using new information.



Heres some websites that may give you some more argument material based on current laws and their reasons in different states. (If the links don't work, just type the address into your browser.)



Good luck on your paper.

Your thesis statement should be the position you wish to prove in your paper, so do you agree with that statement or do you disagree? Either way, just restate that statement with your position, for example: People who are charged with DUI should have their licenses suspended for life.

Well if I were to do this paper my thesis statement would be about whether they should and why. So something along the lines of "A person pulled over for driving under teh influence shoudl have their lisence suspended for life because ____________________, ______________, and _________________." Essentially you have to defend your stance in your paper and your thesis statement is essentially your whole paper all together. Think of it as a super suimmary of it.

First-time offenders who are arrested for DUI should not have their licenses suspended for life, but repeat offenders ought to pay this penalty.

Well, it depends on your feelings on the subject and what the paper is going to be arguing.
