The two lines in this excerpt tht reflect those themes are:
"To make us wish that we were in his place.
"
This line explains perfecty the mentality of “the grass is greener on the other side”. Because its explicitly saying "we" are wishing to be in someone else place, meaning people are never satisfied with their own situation; they always think others have it better.
"Went home and put a bullet through his head."
This phrase makes reference to the theme of dissatisfaction.
Answer:
This essay does not have a stated thesis. What is Diaz's main idea? Write a sentence that could serve as a thesis statement. Where in the essay could this sentence be added? Should such a sentence be added? Why or why not? I believe Diaz's main idea is, be careful who you trust. I believe the thesis statement should be “It's hard to trust someone”. This should be added in the introduction. It is important that this is added because a thesis is the center of an essay. It should also be added because every paragraph in the body would support this statement.
