Can you write a thesis and introduction paragraph for this question/statement:

Question

Discuss how the lives of the peoples of the ancient world were shaped by the geography of their region.

Thanks A lot :)

Answer 1

I can't write a thesis or introduction until I know what I want to say about this topic.

What do YOU want to say? What are your main points?

Answer 2

Some of my points are :
lives of the ancient people being horrible and treacherous because of the geographical features of their region, regardless they took advantage of these features and settled near rivers, lakes, or mountains.

Answer 3

Those are good points. Of course you need more details.

Now you can write your thesis statement.

Your introduction should start with an audience "grabber" and introduce your subject.
