The Best Free Resource for Outstanding Essay and Paper Topics, Thesis Statements and Important Quotes

Welcome to PaperStarter.com

PaperStarter.com offers students of all levels assistance in coming up with a workable thesis statement or essay topic. Here you will find detailed paper topics, essay ideas, thesis statements (that can also be used as study questions or essay prompts) on many novels, short stories, and plays with explanations on how to move from the initial idea to the final product. In addition to the thesis statements, each text also has a corresponding list of some of the most important quotes, typically with corresponding page numbers. These important quotations explained will not only help to provide textual evidence within a quality essay, but might also lead to new ideas about possible themes to explore aside from those already listed. You can use these thesis statements and quotes as a study guide to help you plan for your essay and they might even provide you with prompts we didn’t think to include. In short, by using PaperStarter.com as a resource, students are encouraged to think for themselves about the plot and meanings of books—something that will be demonstrated through an essay full of original ideas and insights. Whether these are used as thesis statements alone, essay starters, or general study questions, students will have a greater chance to connect with important works of literature. After all, sometimes all it takes to create an “A” essay is a little push in the right direction.

Before you begin, please be sure to check out the brief guide to using PaperStarter.com. It will provide you with some useful tips to help you streamline your brainstorming and writing process and will also offer advice on how best to use the information you find here.
