Thesis: The significance of setting in "The Life You Save May Be You"

Hello forum! I need help with my thesis, which is on the significance of setting in Flannery O'Connor's "The Life You Save May Be Your Own." This is what I have, and I'm afraid of how un-provable or vague it might be:

Considering the nature of their prosperity, country farms are usually reminiscent of life and flourishing. In contrast, the deteriorated condition of the desolate farm in O'Connor's story covertly reflects the moral as well as physical deficiencies of the three main characters.

Greetings!

While I can't speak to the accuracy of your thesis' premise, it sounds to me like a very interesting and probably provable one. If the three main characters do suffer from moral and physical deficiencies, drawing the metaphorical comparison to the desolate farm should be just a matter of finding specific instances to compare. I didn't find your thesis vague at all. I'd suggest that you go ahead with your writing, and see if you can't come up with some sound proof for your thesis. It sounds like you're off to a good start!
