Yes two enemies, my bad

So, the theme -- "the courage to stand up to an enemy" -- the barber stood up to the captain, and the captain stood up to the barber.

The captain had the courage to sit in the barber chair and allow his enemy to use a very sharp razor around his throat to shave him.

The barber had the courage to allow his enemy to sit in his chair and then to shave him without killing him -- and that took more courage to NOT kill him than it would to kill him.

Are you with me, or not?

Yes

Can you write a thesis statement now?

I think so, but I'm still stuck

It's is all but written for you. What on earth are you stuck on?

Is this good

In Hernado Tellez Just Lather, that's all, the captain Torres had the courage to sit on a barbers chair and allow his enemy to use a ver sharp razor to shave around his throat.

No, that is not a thesis statement. It is a statement of fact.

A thesis statement is the main idea that you are trying to convey in your work. It states plainly what you are trying to persuade your readers to believe. Therefore, a thesis cannot be a simple statement of fact, because a statement of fact does not require persuasive argument.

I have got it

Thank You for your help

What is your thesis statement?

Risking your life takes a lot of courage to sit on the enemys chair

There are TWO enemies!!

Everything you need for a good thesis statement is in this box (from posts we have made in this thread) --

A thesis statement requires argument and support. It states plainly what you are trying to persuade your readers to believe.

What do you want your readers to believe?

And thank you for so patiently working with me on this. I hope you come up with a good thesis statement.
