Strong verbs to consider using
To describe how, specifically, a
literary device affects a story you
must choose a strong, active verb
for your thesis statement.
The number of possibilities is staggering!
Consider:
• Heightens, intensifies, amplifies, increases,
strengthens, elevates, impacts, promotes,
enhances, enlivens, enriches, intensifies,
reinforces, magnifies, compliments, endows.
Make sure when choosing the strong verb for your
thesis that you pick one that defines the
relationship that you are setting forth to prove. In
other words, do not simply choose a verb because
you like the way it sounds.
