tips or comments on my thesis please!?
So basically the story is about this guy (it doesn't give him a name he is referred to as the narrator) and a blind man. The blind man had a wife as well but she died and the narrator's wife invited him over to comfort him since they were friends. The narrator didn't like it because he didn't understand blind men. The narrator only is comfortable with the surface, if the conversation starts to get deep he hates it and changes subjects. but the blind man teaches him to see more than just the person, he teaches him to see depth and meaning. Here's my thesis:
The narrator lives in a two dimensional world until a blind man reveals its depth, when the blind man tells him to draw a cathedral with his eyes closed he learns to see more than just the surface.
That's it, I know its weak so I'd like anything that you'd think would help me improve it. Thanks!!

Sounds like your writing as short a book review as you can possibly make it. Now, get back to the homework of writing a thesis, and stop asking people you don't know online to do your homework for you. You gave more info about the story than the "thesis" and both don't give enough to do your homework even if someone was inclined to do it for you.

If I could give you a helpful suggestion it would be to make your thesis arguable. A good thesis always is. From the brief summary you give of the story here, it sounds like everyone would agree that the blind man teaches the narrator to "see", so your thesis becomes more of a summary statement. You don't want everyone to agree. I would encourage you to answer the "so what" question about your statement, because that answer can often lead to a good thesis. So the narrator learns to see three dimensionally... so what? How does the author achieve this? What is significant about him learning this? Why is it important or different from another story? Talk about dramatic irony, maybe?
