Max made his way down the aisle and chose a seat halfway back, just as the bus released its brakes with a loud sigh. Max wore headphones and studied his laces, and nobody tried to start up a conversation. For that, Max was
grateful, as he was mentally reviewing his course schedule and room numbers. He tapped his toe erratically and
checked his pocket for his locker combination. It will be fine, he thought, putting in a piece of gum to absorb some of
his energy. He snapped a bubble, tapped his toe, and glanced out the window at the approaching school.

i would say that these are the two thesis statements best for a literary analysis essay on recurring themes in shakespeare's romeo and juliet:

1.  in romeo and juliet, shakespeare demonstrates that love comes in a variety of forms, be it romantic, familial, or between friends.

2.  shakespeare explores the struggle for identity through the character of juliet in his play romeo and juliet.

the other theses aren't reoccurring in this play.

invention of the washing machine

in the past, people used sticks and stones or scrub boards to clean their clothing. as it was sweaty, backbreaking work, we owe a world of to james king because he created the model for the modern washing machine in 1851. the most important issue was that this machine cleaned clothes while a person cranked the handle. doing this made people who used it develop strong muscles in their arms. later, in 1908, alva j. fisher created an electric washing machine named thor. this one was not the first automatic washing machine. however, it was one of the most popular models at the time.
