My thesis before was
"Yann Martel's book "Life of Pi", shows his depiction of the settings in India, Canada, and the ocean. These settings play an important role on the character Pi as he embarks on his journey to Canada
That's not a thesis statement because you have taken no position about the topic. It's a topic sentence, but not a thesis.
Tell me what you want to prove about this topic. Was the author wildly successful by his treatments of the settings? Was he an astounding failure? Or what?
Your strong opinion about this topic needs to be in there. Otherwise, you have nothing to prove in your paper.
