I like your thesis statement. It has some grammatical errors that need to be corrected. Please include an introduction. You may start with a vivid description of Lucille Ball acting wacky on the sitcom - like the episode when she works at the chocolate factory. Or you may want to start with a quote from a critic or fan or family member describing Lucille.
Grade: Satisfactory - missing Introduction
