One of the most important aspects of a strong thesis statement or claim is arguability, this implies a thesis statement is appropriate if it is questionable, which allows the author to expose evidence that proves it. The thesis statement "In the story "The Willow and the Willowtree," the author includes only one human character, Newton" is not appropriate because it only states a fact rather than a position that can be supported due to this it is not possible to develop an argument using this. Also, this focuses on characters rather than on the development of the plot which should be the focus.
