- This is a definition essay because it explains terms like smallpox, polio, and also eradicating both.
- The clearest and briefest statement of the thesis is “smallpox and polio are too different for the same formula to work.”
- The difference between eradicating the two diseases is that because smallpox presents itself fairly quickly, it is easier to contain and isolate, whereas polio can hide for years making it more difficult to stop the spread of because you can have polio and go undetected.
