What is the thesis statement in Ben Raforth's essay "Why Visit Your Campus Writing Center"? *

2 points

Who we talk with can matter more than the topic itself, but either way most people love a good conversation.

Conversation is the key idea behind writing centers, and it’s the number one reason why it pays to visit your campus writing center.

Writing is too hard to do alone, and writing center tutors can help.

I asked several tutors from different writing centers to tell me how students benefit from the writing center, and I hope you will find what they said as convincing as I did.
