I like most of your thesis statements, I noticed you mostly used 3 main points in each one which was good. I think #13 is slightly long but my favorite one was #12. Good job overall.

It looks like you use a pattern for your thesis statements, so if that's your method, I guess it works pretty good.

I thought you did very well with your thesis statements. I also noticed the similar patterns that you used but, I also did a similar method with most of mine. I also noticed that you left out number 11 but it was already a decent thesis statement. But overall i thought you did good job.
