Doubt regarding statement.

So we have to write a statement for our upcoming Thesis, which is on the topic "Sin and Atonement" on the basis of Kite Runner. It should be 10 - 20 words.

I've been working on it for a while, and as I work on it more, it gets more and more convoluted. This is what I ended up with;

The periphery of a sin is contingent on the hands of the sinner and his will for atonement.

Cont... This is also something I came up with; Sin and Atonement can not exist without one another; for a sin unworthy of atonement is an aberration. Any tips on which one is better, or at least whether they make sense?

  • They are supposed to be a tad bit, well, pretentious, but not to the point where the sentence loses all meaning.

The periphery of a sin is contingent on the hands of the sinner and his will for atonement. This doesn't make sense to me.

Sin and atonement can not exist without one another comma for a sin unworthy of atonement is an aberration.
This is good, but I don't know what you mean by 'an aberration'.
