A thesis statement IS a statement that provides direction for the analysis of a theme or idea presented by a particular text. Therefore, in order to construct an effective thesis statement, you must first determine what a text is suggesting about an abstract concept (like greed, for example).
Your thesis statement will address an abstract concept PLUS the evaluation of that concept through a particular text.
"COMPLEX" - address more than one side of the issue or the contrasting views of the issue. A complex attitude could include a desire for something and yet a fear of it.
