Ernest Hemingway was a great writer who influenced many writers through his stories and novels. His greatest goal was to become the best writer. His fictions were focused on his personal life experience. The stream of events in his life experience can be reflected on his writing. Hemingway once stated that "the writer's job is to tell the truth." He wanted his writing "to get the feeling of actual life across--not just to depict life or criticize it--but to actually make it alive." If he can make his characters true enough they would mean many things. Thanks to his many careers as a writer for newspapers and magazines he was able to find the truth in his writing. During his quest for truth he had many leading writers helped him enhance his ability as a writer. Ernest Hemingway gained experience writing through newspaper journalism and furthered his literary education through his many literary influences.

thesis: Ernest Hemingway gained experience writing through newspaper journalism and furthered his literary education through his many literary influences.
It's planned out but I don't know how I should narrow of what I got right now down to my thesis.
That's not a thesis statement. It's a statement that everyone knows.
Your thesis statement must include factual information (which you already have) plus your position/opinion/stance. Without your position on the topic, it isn't a true thesis statement. So think of this sentence as the angle you want to take on the topic and what you intend to prove by the end of your paper. (If your statement is simply factual, then there's nothing to prove!)

Here's a suggestion to improve your essay introduction:
Ernest Hemingway, a highly influential writer, left an indelible mark on the literary world through his stories and novels. In his pursuit of becoming the epitome of a great writer, Hemingway drew heavily from his personal experiences, which infused his works with a tangible sense of authenticity. Embracing his personal mantra that "the writer's job is to tell the truth," Hemingway sought not merely to depict or criticize life, but to bring it to life. By skillfully crafting characters and narratives that resonated as genuine, his writings took on profound meaning. Hemingway's journey towards this truth was bolstered by his multifaceted career in newspaper journalism, where he honed his writing skills, and by the invaluable guidance provided by influential writers who played pivotal roles in his literary development.
In this revised introduction, the opening sentences establish Hemingway as a notable figure in the literary world. The subsequent sentences delve into his personal philosophy of writing and his aspiration to make his stories and characters feel as real as possible. The mention of Hemingway's background in newspaper journalism helps to contextualize his writing journey and the influence it had on his style. Finally, the reference to influential writers acknowledges the collaborative nature of Hemingway's growth as a writer and sets the stage for further exploration in your essay.
