Position paper - The thesis statement

The lecturer had asked us to think of some topics or thesis statements that we wish to analyze. At first, we just write them down in our books for him to see but later we wrote the on the whiteboard and wait for approval. I had come out with some thesis statements from A White Heron and Great Expectations. These are some of my choices:
1. Loyalty to nature should come first before the desire to fulfill our own needs.
2. Innocence made Sylvia choose loyalty to nature.
3. Miss Havisham gains nothing out of her revenge.
4. Estella represents Miss Havisham’s revenge towards men.

I chose to work on the fourth thesis statement because I felt that there are many things to discuss from it.
