What would be a good thesis statement for a comparative essay, with topics of power and ignorance, on the books "The Use of Force" and "The Giraffe" by Mauro Senesi?

If you're writing a comparative essay, you may decide to discuss the relationship between power and ignorance in both stories.
However, before you do that, you will need to decide what sort of differences or similarities the stories share. In "The Giraffe" and "The Use of Force," power appears to rest in the hands of the adults. In "The Giraffe," it is the adults who motivate a change in the boys' plans. Initially, the boys had planned to keep the giraffe in town. After the adults threaten to kill the animal, however, the boys take their new pet into the countryside.
In "The Use of Force," the doctor exerts his power over his little patient. Because of his superior physical strength, she must submit to his ministrations.
In both stories, ignorance rears its head. In "The Use of Force," the ignorance seems to lie chiefly in the young patient. On the other hand, adults are portrayed as the ignorant ones in "The Giraffe." After the animal is caught spying on people and devouring the church flowers, the townsfolk adopt a defensive posture towards the giraffe. Additionally, because the adults lack the knowledge required to look after a giraffe, they come to the erroneous conclusion that the animal must be killed.
So, on the surface, we have very clear examples of ignorance in both stories. However, as we explore the stories a little more, we discover ignorance in other characters. In "The Use of Force," the mother's use of the word "hurt" in connection with the doctor's efforts makes matters worse. The little girl rears up in rage and attacks the doctor. Embarrassed and humiliated, the mother scolds her daughter for attacking the "nice man."
It's clear that both parents have failed to grasp the psychology behind their daughter's behavior. They don't realize that she is furious at what she perceives to be her lack of power. Additionally, their placating behavior does little to impress upon her mind the seriousness of her condition. Because of their ignorance and accompanying emotional angst, the parents are unable to properly (and safely) restrain their daughter.
A similar ignorance shows up in "The Giraffe." At first glance, the ignorance displayed by the adults is quite clear for all to see. As we further explore the story, we see that the boys are also ignorant. Like the adults, they know little about caring for a giraffe. Their lack of experience in this area leads to the unintentional and tragic death of their cherished new pet.
So, now back to our thesis statement. It's clear from the stories that ignorance can be manipulated by a superior will (or power). Think about how the adults lay down the law, so to speak, in "The Giraffe." In "The Use of Force," the doctor holds all the cards.
However, the accomplishment is superficial at best. This main idea (thesis) is true for both stories, but it is only in "The Giraffe" that the manipulation ends in death. Essentially, the collective ignorance of two parties (the boys and the adult townsfolk) result in tragedy. I hope this premise makes it easier for you to come up with a working thesis statement. Happy writing!
