I am writing this paper on jfk assasination was it a conspiracy or not and i wrote my thesis but i dont think?

Question

it stands out this is what i wrote: in todays society some people still believe that lee harvey oswald was not acting alone.

feel free to add or etc..

Answer 1

Some people said it was a conspiracy and the Warren commission said it was not. I am in the middle. But many conspiracy theories sound so outlandish that not even Walt Disney had the imagination to write them. Like the one, ridiculous, stating that Lee Harvey Oswald real character disappeared in Soviet Russia, and that it was a "double" who got arrested and killed. Oh yeah? And who sent him? Elvis Presley? Or that his brains , JFK'S,"disappeared". RIDICULOUS!

Answer 2

In today's society, some people still believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was not acting alone.  They point to the gun shot wounds on President Kennedy, on others in the car, and the trajectories and assume they could not have been made from the same angle.

Answer 3

What are you using for resource material?  There are plenty of books on the subject, but I would suggest two: Gerald Posner's "Case Closed" and Anthony Summer's "Conspiracy", one from each side of the argument.  Vincent Bugliosi's "Reclaiming History" is very long and would take quite a while to read; while Jim Marr's "Crossfire" (claimed as the inspiration for Oliver Stone's movie "JFK") is pure garage.

As for your thesis statement, it would depend on what you believe happened: either Oswald acted alone or the assassination was a conspiracy plot.  If the former, I would say "Though some people today still believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was not acting alone, all the available evidence points to Oswald as the lone assassin of President John F. Kennedy."  Then you can go through each one of the points of the conspiracy theories and refute them.

If you believe that there was a conspiracy, I really can not help you.  I have studied the assassination twice (once in graduate school) and have came to the same conclusion: Oswald acted alone.

Answer 4

Many people do not believe that Oswald acted alone and there are many, many theories that suggest a myriad of conspiracies.

Unfortunately, there is no historical documentation to prove or disprove the theory.

Your thesis will be inconclusive, at best.

Answer 5

The operative sentence in your question is, "In today's society, some people still believe that Lee Harvey Oswald was not acting alone." You are writing a paper about whether JFK's assassination was a conspiracy or not. You say that you wrote your thesis. What does that mean? "But I don't think." What does that mean? You don't think it was a conspiracy?
