Best Peer Review Question

I feel like the best question on the peer review sheet for our synthesis/ analysis essay is the one that asks about the most important part of your paper; the thesis. Here's the question,

Does the first paragraph end with a thesis? Rewrite it below. Does the thesis make an argument about the significance of a literary element at work in the song? What is that literary element? In your own words, how is this literary element important to the writer’s interpretation of the song’s “hidden” meaning?
This is the best question becasue it makes sure that the author's thesis contains everything that the professor is looking for. Also, I think every paper should have a good thesis for this assignment becasue on the sythesis part you have to relate that thesis to Ishmael Baeh in the book, A Long Way Gone. The question also makes sure that the peer reviewer is doing his/her job by analyzing the thesis to make sure it contains everything that the quaetion is looking for.
