Read the following paragraph. Finding the perfect thesis statement is like finding your perfect dance step. You pirouette and twirl around a compelling subject or question until your imagination whispers, "This is the one." An inner symmetry will help you achieve the balance of interpreting the significance of your subject without placing too much weight on the subject itself. The rhythm of your dance step will determine the parameters and limits of your thesis statement, so that you stay within the context you alone have shaped. Your dance will have clarity and specificity, and you will move across the stage with vitality and command, engaging your audience in your well–placed arguments. You will have created the perfect thesis statement that bends, flows, and leaps with relevance, power, and beauty. Learning how to compose an appropriate thesis statement is a key academic concept usually included in high school English classes. Rewrite the paragraph using more appropriate academic language. Be clear and precise so that other high school students can follow the steps you describe and write an effective thesis statement. Apply your knowledge of language arts and writing instruction to select words and phrases that are appropriate to this academic area and this concept.

the difference between an explicit and implicit meaning is that the explicit meaning of a poem is that the detail is exactly defined. nothing is left to interpretation. an implicit meaning is an implied meaning. kabir's poetry is both explicit and implicit in that it can be interpreted on different levels. the explicit meaning leaves nothing to interpretation while the implicit meaning leaves lots open to interpretation. an example of this is found in the poem "rumi and the spiritual lover". 

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
