Help! Read the following thesis statement and determine whether or not it is effective and the reason for its effectiveness or lack thereof.

In The Color Purple, Alice Walker uses Celie's relationships with Nettie, Shug, and Sofia to demonstrate the inherent power that women share and encourage among each other and that provides the support needed to endure a life of hardship and ultimately triumph.

a
Effective, because it includes the title of the book, the author, and at least one main character's name.

b
Effective, because it is arguable and will require evidence and commentary to support the claim.

c
Not effective, because it contains mostly summary of the relationships among the women with not much to defend.

d
Not effective, because it fails to describe how Shug and Sofia provide this much-needed support.

e
Not effective, because while it describes the relationships among the women, the reader will still not know who Shug and Sofia are in relation to Celie.

Thank youuu!
