P53 and the future for cancer treatments

Research paper that examines a debatable topic. It also needs to have a clear thesis. Your paper has neither of these traits. You need a clear thesis. What one thing are you trying to say here? What are you trying to argue? It cannot be just telling the reader about P53. Think of a controversial issue related to its potential future use. Is there a specific form of cancer that could be your focus? For example, cancers caused by a virus. Are you arguing that it is the most viable option for cancer treatment? Are you arguing that it is the future direction for cancer treatment? If so, you need to say that outright and then develop points to convince the reader. Think of 2-4 points that you could make here. Or you could focus on the P53 gene and cancers caused by a virus. You need a better opening or lead paragraph, one that really grabs the reader’s attention and makes them want to continue reading. You could do that with an anecdote or story related to genetic research or a specific patient. Draw them into the subject. After your initial paragraph in which you grab the readers’ attention. Set the stage for your thesis statement. Then state it as well as how you are going to argue it in the paper. Follow this with a couple pages of background information on how cancer is typically treated. Then give background information on P53. Lay your ideas out in an outline and email it to me. Build your argument.Watch some videos. Connect the scholarly and nonscholarly sources into a paper for your peers that argues a specific point. As you revise your thesis, you may need additional scholarly sources that match it better. Come to class on Wednesday with a revised paper.
