I need to know ASAP. Please just give a quick critique of the following sentence:
"Even though the exact definition of fear is never directly stated, the reader gains a broader sense of what it is through Golding's vivid settings and realistic situations."
Topic: fear in Lord of the Flies
I have a "literary criticism" due tomorrow and I have no idea what I'm doing.
Thanks. Sorry for being so pushy. I'm just so stressed!

You're not supposed to give away your position in the thesis statement. Try to come up with an unbiased version of what you have written and then let the reader determine that fact through the following paragraphs.
The sentence is well written, however.

Try this:
"Although the exact definition of fear is never stated directly, the reader gains a broader sense of it, through Golding's Vivid settings and realistic situations."

I think you should change the wording around. It is not a thesis statement as it stands. Your thesis should always have a statement which gives the reader what the paper will be about.

No that is not a good thesis statement. Although it is a good supporting or detailed sentence. your thesis should express in a broad way what you are writing about. the thesis you wrote is much too detailed. Good Luck!

Don't forget to mention the characters' reactions to each situation. Pay close attention to the details that Golding describes for each characters' feelings/reactions. It'll help define this "fear" better.
Good luck.

Clarify: Is this your statement and you need to know if it's good, or is this a statement that you have to critique and you need direction on how to do that?

attempt this: "no count if the wonderful definition of hardship is by making use of no skill pronounced immediately, the reader powerful factors a broader adventure of it, by skill of Golding's magnificent settings and smart circumstances."

Instead of "what it is" write "what fear is".
Don't start out with "Even though". Start with "Although"
