Comment on Luisa's Thesis (Alexia Barrios)

 Your thesis is not bad, but I first have to say that it is a run on sentence. You should end the first sentence right after you say “ by ‘eliminating’ Alianova and Lizaveta from life.” and then remove the word essentially and start the next sentence after that, probably using different wording in order to make sure that the sentence is clear and concise. It should probably be more like “He regretted and feared the consequences because there is a very humane side to him that knew it was not the correct choice to make and knew there would be grave consequences to face.” You should break it up into 2-3 sentences because it is way to long at the moment, which can be a little distracting when you are reading it. Other than that I do not think your thesis is bad. I think that maybe you can re-word it to make what you are trying to say more clear because it is a little confusing when you read it for the first time.  You address the topic and reference vague details and establish the purpose or the point that you are trying to prove without giving it all away at once

The Thesis statement will be:

 Raskolnikov, having been raised in very rough, violent, and poor conditions, did consider himself a hero by “eliminating” Alianova and Lizaveta from life, essentially, yet he regretted and feared the consequences because there is a very humane side to him which knew, morally, it was not the correct choice and knew that there would be grave consequences to face after murdering two innocent women.
