Just to expound more on tomorrows assignment and also to understand theory more here is a link, which might be helpful to better understand...
https://www.iusb.edu/english/academic-programs/first-year-writing/Essential%20Handouts%20What%20is%20a%20Thesis%20or%20Theory.pdf
"A thesis or theory is the main point or argument you make in an essay. The thesis is
stated clearly somewhere in the opening paragraph and then tested and developed
throughout the essay. Although “argument” and “thesis” are probably the most comm
on
terms used to describe this crucial component of an essay (most handbooks will use one
or both of these terms in their indexes) the term “theory” provides a useful way of
understanding how a thesis becomes more than simply the central claim you make in
a
paper. A theory is your own discovery
—
your interpretation
—
that comes out of
synthesizing other authors’ ideas as well as your own life experiences in relation to a
particular issue, question, or debate. The thesis or theory establishes a controlling idea
that gives an essay organizational focus and momentum from beginning to end. Every
paragraph in the essay becomes an opportunity to introduce fresh evidence from the
readings that will help you test and expand on that main idea. Once you develop a theory
about some question, problem, or issue in relation to a particular set of readings, that
theory provides a direction to your essay and a way of deciding which material to include
and exclude."
