Answer:
Answer by redunicorn
Arthur C. Clarke and Frederick Pohl wrote the book. It wasn’t as interesting as Clarke or Pohl’s other books. I like both authors. Frederick Pohl lives not that far from me so I have met him many times. I have to admit, I never finished the book.
from Bookmarks
“Despite the unparalleled reputation of its authors, no critic was very impressed by The Last Theorem. All of its major ideas and themes, one reviewer pointed out, have been more ably explored by Clarke and Pohl in other novels (see Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, Rendezvous with Rama, and The Fountains of Paradise, for example). Add herky-jerky pacing, inexplicable changes in characters’ behaviors, and a cartoonish American villain, and The Last Theorem seems to deserve its nearly universal criticism. On the other hand, at least one reviewer found a way to appreciate the book: as an insight into Clarke’s famously private inner life. In its descriptions of Sri Lanka (the author’s home for more than 50 years) and his protagonist’s uncertain sexual orientation, The Last Theorem may help readers learn something new about Clarke, if not the strength of his talents.”
Question by Nathan: What’s a good thesis statement for a history essay on slavery and abolition?
First off, may I say that I don’t need any factual help on slavery and abolition; I’ve been studying up on it for months. My problem is solely with coming up with a compelling (or even usable!) thesis statement for the essay I’m writing.
I’m working on a slavery/abolition essay, which I can write no problem by the deadline at midnight — but what I really need is a thesis statement. My main problem is that It has to be in the form of an argument, but I don’t know how to argue about something as factually and morally clear-cut as the wrongness of slavery and the rightness of abolitionist thinking. Here is my instructor’s guidance:
1. Examine the institution of slavery in the United States and the abolition movement that followed it.
– Discuss the effect of slavery on society in the North and South, the slaves, and the slave-owning families
– Examine the major motives and basic arguments for the abolition movement and the outcome for slaves and women.
Under “tips,” she writes:
- Your thesis statement must be a point that is going to guide your whole paper and is an argument.
- Provide specific examples to back up your ideas. Make sure that you then explain why those specific examples back up your argument.
Can anyone sling some quick or free-form ideas on what angle I can take in presenting this information? Thank you.

Perhaps how the blacs were the obvious slaves, but how the owners were also slaves to an institution that brutalized them all
