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.

I believe “satisfyingly” would work, the definition of satisfyingly is: “in a way that gives fulfillment or the pleasure associated with this.” The definition of “proudly” is: “with a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction in one's own achievements, qualities, or possessions or those of someone with whom one is closely associated.” The word satisfy is used in the definition so I believe they are similar!
