Thesis 1:
I like this one a lot. You have the topic and a direct example from the story . I only have ne suggestion. When you say “that is his future” I think you can say ” that blindsides him to a betrayal in the end” or just end the sentence after betrayal.
Thesis 2:
I think you have to be more specific on what your topic is. You can give an direct example of how women were upon. With out the example its kind of confusing exactly what is going to be discussed in the paper. This sentence is sounds like a description of the story.

I like both of your theses but there is always room for improvement. In your first thesis, I think the last half of your sentence may need to be reworded. I had to read it over a few times because it came across as a run-on sentence at first but I still get the point you’re trying to bring across. As for the second thesis, it’s good but I think you can narrow it down a little more. Maybe by expanding on the “this time in Japan” part. Maybe you can be a bit more specific or just reword it. Overall good theses though.

Simona,
Your second statement seems your most focused, although you would need to define what you mean by “looked down upon,” as this can be many things, and you need to focus on what that means in the text. This also would somehow need to connect to the author’s purpose, which you could then explicitly state in your thesis (why he is focusing on this issue). The first statement is more of a straight analysis, so you would need to include an interpretative (why the author did this) element.
