Here is an excerpt from an old blog post on thesis statements:
A thesis statement is an argument or claim that you make about something, in this case, literature (Night).
If you're stuck, look at the the topic. Identify the main question in that topic. The answer to that question will become your thesis statement, but make sure it's descriptive.
For example, if the question is: Does Ellie change throughout the novel?
A bland, uninventive thesis statement would look like this: In Night, by Elie Wiesel, Elie changes throughout the novel.
What's missing here? How could we make this better?
