How is this for an evolving thesis statement in a compare/contrast paper on Benito Cereno and Frankenstein?

Revised thesis, plus introduction. Thoughts?
-Supposed to aim for an evolving thesis
-Also aiming for strong critical points
What does being a member of the human race really mean? Does it mean that we must look a certain way? Act a certain way towards our fellow man? When, then, is it acceptable, if ever, to look on a person as undeserving of the term ‘human'? And if a person is
