So here is my dilemma: I have 2 thesis statements, however, I am supposed to also provide 3 topic sentences for each thesis statement.

Thesis 1
Music expresses emotion through lyrics, can alter emotions with sounds, and can hypnotize the human mind with visual effects.

Thesis 2
With the release of endorphins, the relief of stress, and the smiles it creates, laughter can be used as a form of medical treatment.

I have no clue on how to do the topic sentences. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!!!

See er my teacher just taught us what a thesis sentence was. I didn't even know topic sentences existed for each thesis

I would've helped you with the thesis but they seem pretty good actually. I thought that topic sentences are the sentences displayed to the writer at the beginning and from there the writer writes a thesis based off the topic sentence.

The topic sentences are ones that describe the thesis statement, but my problem is coming up with three different ones for each thesis.

"Music expresses emotion through lyrics, can alter emotions with sounds, and can hypnotize the human mind with visual effects."

1). Musical elegance is a gift bestowed unto a few, but enjoyed by many.
2). Many things have advanced culture, few have revolutionized it...
3). When we look at reality, it's translated into language and often told to a few, music tells it to a generation.

That's the first done, the rest is extremely easy. I'm not going to do it all for you, but hopefully that was a start.
