A Practice Synthesis Thesis...

Using your notes and understanding from today's discussion, post a synthesis thesis below.  This can be the one with which you're currently working for your ALIS essay or can be about 2 texts we've read this semester.  Regardless, combine your 2 texts AND the theory you plan on incorporating into your sample argument.
