What's a good theme I can form on identity/isolation of Ender In Ender's Game?

Question

I asked my English teacher if an essay on loss of identity due to isolation is okay? What would make a good thesis? What are some good examples I can use in order to show how this can make an overall theme in this book?

Answer 1

Amy, Here's how you turn your idea into a thesis.

Your beginning paragraph will go something like this...

"In this paper I will argue (or show) that Ender's isolation [from man, society, his family, his friends] as portrayed in the book Ender's Game was the direct cause of his loss of identity."
