In the poem “Digging” by Seamus Heaney, the idea of culture and heritage is explored through the use of figurative language such as simile, metaphor, and alliteration.
While trying to construct my thesis I tried to make my thesis sentence into a thesis statement but I did not accomplish it. I just could not figure out how to add another aspect to my thesis. I believe that the cause of this is the training and instruction given to us by our teachers that the thesis had to be one sentence. That is like the model set for the thesis statement.
I do agree that it should not have to be a sentence and by the thesis I just commented I can tell why it will be better to make the thesis more than one sentence. It allows more space to elaborate on your thoughts and what you are trying to say.

I think that your thesis has a good foundation and that there is a lot of supporting evidence in the poem for your thesis. Maybe you could include in your thesis specifically what part of the heritage it explores or delve deeper into specifically how the figurative language explores his culture. Also, try and use more descriptive words in the place of 'idea' and 'explores'.
Good Thesis and good poem. However, I know it was your first draft but still i recommend using less 'I' in the paragraph. and rather than saying many supportive sentences, i think it would be better to have few critical and deep suportive sentences.
