Question

Based on the reading selection you chose, create a thesis statement. The thesis statement should show how the main conflict in the story helps to get across the main theme of the story.

Answer 1

In "The Queen Bee," the conflict between the queen bee and her subjects gets across the theme that a creature’s worth depends more on its actions than on its status.

In "A Runaway Whale," the conflict between the boy and the whale gets across the theme that humans cannot always control nature, no matter how clever or skilled they are.

Answer 2

Hello. As you have not informed the reading options that this question refers to, it is not possible that this question can be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

In order for you to be able to write a thesis statement, you must in a few lines summarize the central point of the text and issue a position on it. An example of this can be seen in a statement and thesis on the book "All the Bright Places" that says: "The book points to family neglect in relation to adolescents' feelings as an aggravation of childhood depression and the negative results that it can to tease."
