"You can be a really bad liar sometimes," Remus remarked, leaning his head against the wall. "I can't shake the feeling that people know what I am."

"I hope I didn't wake you." (Remus to Sirius)

"No, I'm awake," Sirius lied. He sat up, rubbing his eyes groggily. "What is it, mate?"

[rawbutprecious]

"Dearie, of course I'm right. I'm the Dark One. I can spot a liar a million miles away," he said in jest. Her rubbed his hands together trying to warm them up. He found that warm hands worked better when he came to magic. "Give me a minute to give it a try. I would not set the blanket close to the fireplace. I don't want to catch anything on fire by mistake."

Belle got up, placing a bookmark on the page. “ No- it’s fine. I can—“ She stopped. He was right. Getting up, she searched for the blankets.

“ I think I found one!” she called after several moments.

[rawbutprecious]

'Max, why do you think I need a hero?' Liz signed after trying to sit up in the hospital bed. She winced. Every part of her body ached. 'I don't. I just need you to be you.' She paused. Should she ask why he thinks she's a hero?

"i'm sorry, i'm never going to be the hero you want me to be. i have every confidence in you-- that you'll stay the hero i know you are."

"I don't think there's an expiration date for dancing. As long as you are living you can dance," Remple pointed out. "My son also informed me ladies like spontaneous geastures. Henry concurred. So... this is me being spontaneous."

Belle almost dropped the dish she’d carried to the sink. That … was more than a little unexpected of a question from him. Pausing her tidying, she took his hand.

“ I- I haven’t done this in a while. “

[rawbutprecious]

"Yeah. I got that," Charlie said. She kept her tone low and word choice even. "But, I need to know why. Things were going just fine. There wasn't any trouble. What happened? How many are there? I need a little info so I can prepare for whatever's coming."

Nora only half heard her. She was too busy checking behind them to see how close their pursuers were. "We're being chased," she replied "Bad guys are the ones chasing us. ANy more questions?"

Cooking? When did they start talking about food? She blinked a couple of times as she pondered it. Come to think o fit, she was pretty hunger, "Some Princess Potatoes an' salsbury steak would be a mighty fine mean right now," she said. "And I can make an apple kringle for deser. I know you like 'em, honey."

Queenie shrugged. "I ain't scared. It's not like I can stop what I do. I just wish I could," Queenie said, talking Jacob's hand in hers. "I don' like pryin' all the time. Sometimes it's helpful, but sometimes I learn stuff I shouldn't. Thank-you for having nice thoughts about me, by the way. I appreciate it."

Ain't cold. He was used to the uncomfortable conditions of the front and had come to associate rain with discomfort. But the woman was making him see more perspectives. " Cook what ..." he stopped as he admired her. She was performing magic, and his first thought was to enjoy rather than worry about the consequence of him being a non-maj and seeing it performed. Magic instilled that sense of hope in the man.

Jacob needed clarification about the depth of her abilities and was relatively unskilled in projecting mental barriers to himself. Still, he shook his head, " I'm not afraid, doll, I know all about showing off. I just don't want you to get in trouble because of me."

Cinna was going to do his damnedest to protect Katniss. He was going to use the shallowness of the Capitol to their advantage. The majority of them got real distracted by pretty, shiny things. The moment he was assigned to be her stylist he knew that could be a tool. If he could make her as radiant and beautiful as possible, potential sponsors would be drawn towards Katniss. If he could make her stand out in the crowd they would be more likely remember the Mockingjay.

"No, you are perfect. The dress is just a dress. It's the wearer that makes it what it is," Cinna said, hugging her. The designer could not help it, but he picked off a stray thread and a bit of lint. "And I've just been doing this for a long time. You kind of get good at things the longer you practice. The skill of making this dress, or any outfit, is trained just like you trained yourself with the bow and arrow. Now, do you need anything? Any last froofing? Any last advice?"

@rawbutprecious (continued from here)

Katniss had never considered herself to be a dreamer, and going into the Hunger Games was more like a nightmare than a good dream. But standing here, wearing this BEAUTIFUL GOWN Cinna had made just for her… it was almost like a dream. Katniss had NEVER worn anything so elegant in her life. And even though she knew the horrific fate that likely awaited her, even though she was DREADING this interview more than anything, even though she knew the dress was somewhat of a desperate ploy to get sponsors… she couldn’t help feeling… BEAUTIFUL.

Her arms were around Cinna before she could process what she was doing — a rare display of affection. She NEVER thought she’d be hugging anybody from the Capitol, but Cinna deserved it. As he spoke, Katniss tightened her embrace, resting her head on his shoulder and letting out a soft sigh. “It’s PERFECT, Cinna…” She trailed off, closing her eyes, desperately trying NOT to think of the future. It was so much more than just a dress to her. “You’re… REALLY good at your job.”

"You can ask me anything you want, but that doesn't mean I have to answer them," he replied. His tone was deadpan. He leaned against the counter with his arms crossed. "If you say so." From his perspective it fid not feel like love. He'd been alone much of his life and it all started by her decision.

@rawbutprecious

Belle already had started on the tea. So many questions went through her mind as she added the leaves. “ Could I ask why you’re here?” she asked Gideon. Her tone softened. “ And you know, I love you. I did what I had to do to protect you. “

[rawbutprecious]

Rumplestiltskin raised an eyebrow at the question. "I did it for the house, too. I have a lot of books. They needed a proper place, dearie," he said. "I can get rid of this if you don't want it."

Belle’s eyes went wide as she scanned over the shelves. There weee more than enough books here to read in a lifetime! “ You did this for me?” she asked.

[rawbutprecious]

Gideon did not return the smile. "You don't know me. You don't get to speak for me and what I have to do or what I don't have to do," Gideon growled. "It's not a have... it's a need. I need to do this."

Belle gave her son a small smile. “ I got it from my favorite book. To remind you to be brave and heroic. “ She placed a hand on his shoulder. “ You don’t have to do any of this. “

[rawbutprecious]

"I am a man full of surprises. Was it bad? I was trying to be romantic. I fear it backfired," he quipped, shaking his head at the offer of the carton. "No. No. I'm fine. Thank you. As for sleep... well over 150 years. It's been since I became the Dark One. Don't need sleep."

@rawbutprecious

“ Yes. I just- didn’t expect it. Is all” Belle replied, adding a dash of milk to the coffee. “ Oh, do you need.. ?” She was about to put the carton back.

“ How long have you gone without any sleep?” she whispered

[rawbutprecious]

"I kinda had to. The stars are a roadmap. They help guide ships. Killian taught me," he explained. "But, uh.... is there anything I don't know? I don't know how to build a steam engine. All this knowledge wasn't because I wanted to be able to do a lot of stuff. I needed it to survive."

He paused for a moment and looked up. "Okay, look a little to your right. You're going to see a band of three stars. That's Orion's belt. You see it?"

She leant up on her hand to face him. "You know the constellations too? Is there anything you don't know?" She teased.

"Okay." She leant up against him.

[rawbutprecious]

Gideon pulled away. He shook his head. "You do not know me. You did not raise me. You do not know what I have done or are capable of," he growled. "And there is nothing better than magic. I don't know who told you otherwise, but they were misguided."

@rawbutprecious

Taking note of her son’s reaction, Belle tried to soothe him. “ You’re not” she crooned, wrapping an arm around him. “ Look, maybe— maybe I can help. I have something better than magic. “ She gestured towards the bookshelf.

[rawbutprecious]

"I... well... all..." he stammered. He started and stopped as he tried to answer. He wanted to but he also did not want to find himself in a situation like with Milah. "I can't. I'm sorry, Dearie. My ex-wife.... she went to the bar often and I asked her not to as much and it was never pretty. I can't put myself in that situation. You need to want to not do it."

“ Fine” Lacey said quickly, the pounding in her head increasing every second as she searched for some instant coffee. “ I just had a bad night. Remind me not to do that again?” She had been at the Rabbit most of the night until closing, and now was dealing with the consequences.

Rumple watched Belle. He could tell she wanted to help, but he just couldn't get himself to ask. He was good at not asking - at just doing things himself. Besides, the particular wand he was looking for was very dangerous. "It has a vein of purple running from one end to the next," he said. "If you see it, do not touch it. Call me. It's a finicky piece, dearie. Do you understand?"

@rawbutprecious

Drying off her mug, Belle nodded. “Please let me know. And— if I get a minute, I’ll look. “. The library could be busy some days whenever school was in session.

I can help! I'm a doctorate student (in Education). I've also taught English comp 1 and 2.

So anyway, the thesis (also known as a Thesis Statement) is 1 to 2 sentences that give the main topic of your whole paper. It is usually introduced at the end the first paragraph, but does have to be.

For example, here is the opening paragraph to an essay I wrote awhile go: In Grimm’s fairytales, shoes play an important role. They're meant to represent literal and philosophical journeys the characters face. Shoes also embody the ideas of glory, retribution and self-confidence.       

I highlighted the   thesis statement so anyone reading can focus on it. To read the whole essay, please go here. Please note how it is introducing the initial concepts, but it doesn't say everything. Those lines should make the reader want to read more.

Unless your professor explicitly says to turn in a thesis statement, I suggest writing the whole paper first. The initial goal is get your information down. Then edit. In that editing process, you will see what the paper actually is about.

I hope this helps. If you have any more essay questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

How to write thesis

Hi, I’m sorry I can’t help you, but this isn’t that kind of blog. Also, as I’ve never had to write one myself, I honestly have no clue. Sorry!

I hope you have a good day/night!
