Unfortunately, because I don't know your assignment prompt, I can't help you very specifically. However, what I can do is first give you pointers on writing a strong thesis statement in general, and then I can discuss some common essay topics for F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby.
Writing a Strong Thesis Statement:
A common error in a thesis is to make a statement but not a claim. A strong thesis statement will always present some sort of argument that you are trying to prove; usually, this argument is hinged on a connection between two separate things (cause and effect, one aspect developing or influencing another, etc.).
Common Essay Topics: The Great Gatsby
- Daisy and the role of women in society
- Deception as a means of characterization
- Diction used to develop the theme of class
- Jay Gatsby and the theme of the American Dream
