I'm Not Sure What It's About...

I'm reworking one of my statements for a fellowship application. The sponsor has the nerve to demand that I clearly describe my area of study. That sounds suspiciously like they want me to have a pretty strong idea of my theses. I've been kind of writing and expecting the overall thesis to come to me. Each chapter has a point, but I'm not sure I can clearly describe anything right now. And my theoretical framework? I don't even know what that phrase means!! I'm off to try to figure it out...
