You should map out what you are going to write about in your body paragraphs (pre-writing, outline, four-square). What are the main points in each paragraph that could help you to form the statement? Once you have that, it should make writing the thesis statement a bit easier. If this is just a general overview, you could write something like, "Tchaikovsky's composition was shaped by many events that occurred early in life, during his adult life, and long after he passed away." Again, it would largely depend on what you want your reader to know about the paragraphs they are about to read.

9. The boy and the old man are very poor, but they are happy it is referenced in the passage and Patrasche is the dogs name.
10. The old man and boy were never able to make enough food. They were poor and didn't have a big garden to grow an abundance of food.
That's my take on the questions, hope it helps you.
