Hello, again…
Tonight I will be writing an essay about Organizing The Food in Your Kitchen Cupboard . I’m stuck on a good thesis statement, though. Help me? ;j
“If you follow principles X, Y and Z, you can organize your kitchen cupboard and have the most often-used items in easy reach to facilitate cooking on the spur of the moment,” or whatever.
Like me. I keep my ramen in the front and my ingredients for vodka cream sauce or beef bourgignon waaaay in the back. 
I like it, but what should X, Y and Z be?
The essay is about how to organize all the food in an afternoon.
(Liquor should always be the easiet item to reach…)
uhhhh…put little used items on the top shelf, staples in an easy-to-reach but out of the way part and things that move quickly in the easiest to reach spots so that you have an easy time putting away groceries?
Thanks for you in put , but what I need is a thesis statement.
If you don’t know how to write a thesis statement, maybe you should ask your teacher.
I think it should be obvious–Alphabetically. Unless you prefer to organize more like the Dewey-Decimal system. Personally, I find all the barcoding a bit tedious.
Oh, yeah, that’d go over real well…not.
I know how to write a thesis statement. What I wanted was a good thesis statement.
I have the rest of the essay that wonderfully explains how to organize a kitchen food cupboard in an afternoon. I just need an excellent first part…the thesis statement.
"In the history of American kitchens, the hegemonic ideology of cupboard storage has undergone a spatial transformation from the hierachical paradigm of the nineteen-fifties to a postindustrial, virtual-object-oriented methodology of the twenty-first century.:

Huh?
I don’t think you get that we’re willing to help with ideas and concepts, but most of us actually draw the line at actually writing your homework.
Are you looking for a THESIS statement, or a snappy intro? If you really want a thesis statement and have, as you said, already written the entire body, the thesis statement should state exactly what it is that the rest of the paper argues, in brief. We’d have to know exactly what the rest of the essay said to give you a thesis, right?
If you want a snappy introduction, on the other hand, you should look at Foucault’s introduction to The Order of Things where he discusses Borges’ “certain Chinese Encyclopedia,” heh.
On second thought, that would be an overly erudite, falling-flat joke reference. Maybe just see what Fannie Farmer or someone says about kitchen organization and set things up as an updating or practical excercise.
If it was my essay, I’d go with Organizing The Food in Your Kitchen Cupboard Is Pointless. It gives you the opportunity to insert a little humor, it’s going to go a different direction than the 30 other essays that your teacher is going to have to slog through, and it’s more efficient. Hey, other methods take an entire afternoon to apply. This method is immediately in place! Afternoon saved for essay writing.
Subthesis - anything that, over time and due to the evolution-promoting chaos of deliberate disorganization, gets shoved to the back of the cupboard and overlooked, probably deserves it.
Of course, it would help if you had a disorganized cupboard to go to for concrete instances.

If you can easily find the scrub pads and cleanser, you’re going to be stuck cleaning the sink and counters. Not a good thing.
Here’s a statement for you:
Do your own homework.
