By Friday, you need to turn in a thesis and I will check off your evidence. Remember that a thesis, at its most basic, is the following:

Subject + Opinion (Pizza is good.)

An example of the type or level of thesis you need to write follows from the 1st option for the paper we discussed in class today:

The villainy of Abigail in The Crucible resides in her temptation and willingness to lie to get what she wants.

That thesis speaks to the source of her villainy. It could also focus on the effect or character of the villainy.

Due on Friday is your thesis and the evidence you gathered for your question thus far.
