High School Biography Projects

Question: Comment on thesis for "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"? (by Lewis Carroll)?
I have a essay-type project due for my high school freshman english class (it's called "Body Biography" because it's supposed to focus on a main character) in about a week, and I am trying to come up with a thesis. I have only been able to put one of my ideas into words that make sense. Here it is: "The huge contrast between Victorian England and Wonderland cause Alice to be seen as self-centered, rather than a normal, well brought-up child." If you could comment on ANYTHING about it, that would be great. Seriously, anything: grammar, clarity, etc. Thank you for any help you can give me!
Answer: This is a really good start and I like the topic. It is argumentative, so that's good. You always want that in a thesis. The main thing that's missing in the thesis is the forecast for your essay. You will want to say "...well brought-up child because of this, this, and this." Add that and you should have a good thesis. Happy writing!
