<span>The narrator returns to Horsell Common to discover an even larger crowd, all pushing to be able to see the cylinder. All, that is, except for one poor guy who fell into the crater and is trying to push his way back out. (Which is always the way – the grass is always greener on the other side of the crater.)Then the cylinder opens, and out comes something that no one expects. The narrator admits that he expected something sort of like a man to emerge, but instead what comes out is snake-like tentacles and a body about the size of a bear and skin that glistens like "wet leather" (1.4.12, 1.4.14). (You can only imagine our facial contortions right now.)Everyone runs away from the Martian just because it looks horrible, what with its saliva-dripping, lipless mouth and big, luminous eyes. Oh, and tentacles. Can't forget the tentacles.Since all of the people have for cover (they've found places to hide and watch), the area by the crater is now a human-free zone, with just some horses and carts.<span>Oh, and remember the man who fell in the crater before? He's still down there. Dun dun dun!

Hi there!
Even though this question was submitted a week ago, I'd love to give pointers to those that may stumble upon this question asking for help.
A thesis statement is basically stating what your whole essay is about, and is based on your opinion. It's usually located at the end of your opening paragraph, and is short, sweet, and straight to the point (being a sentence long). When drafting your thesis statement, keep in mind the three, or two, ideas that you wrote about or are writing about in your body paragraphs. A thesis statement is kind of like paraphrasing, just making your main ideas of the body paragraphs provable.
Your thesis statement can, and is reccommended to be restated in your closing paragraph. When restating your thesis statement, I don't recommend to use the same exact sentence- change it up a bit.
An example of a thesis statement;
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are the best type of sandwich because they are versatile, easy to make, and taste good.
This means that my essay is focused on proving that PB&J is the best type of sandwich. My body paragraphs will be about it's versatility, how it's easy to make, and it's taste.
Hoping I helped some!
