Your thesis statement depends upon the author, the work, the time period, genre, etc. What did you read?

Your question asks how Chopin "held up a mirror" to her time period. In what way do you think she portrayed the late 19th century in this story? Your thesis statement should state how this "The Kiss" showed this era.
