is this a good thesis The Merriam-Websters defines suspense as “a feeling or state of nervousness or excitement caused by wondering what will happen.” In “The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell, the author’s use of irony, choice of setting details, and selection of a chronological text structure create suspense in the story.

All of this is factual. No one would disagree with anything in here. Therefore, it's not a thesis statement.
HOWEVER ... consider only the last sentence and tell us your opinion about all that. Here's a way to come up with your own opinion about something literary: Start a next sentence with "This means that ... " and then finish it in your own words.
Please re-post when you've done that, even if you come up with two or three ways to complete it.
ok wait i repost the question?
No ... try this:
In “The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell, the author’s use of irony, choice of setting details, and selection of a chronological text structure create suspense in the story.
Start a next sentence with "This means that ... " and then finish it in your own words.
ok
umm
In “The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell, the author’s use of irony, choice of setting details, and selection of a chronological text structure create suspense in the story. This means that Connell creates different aspects to catch the reader attention and keep them wondering until the end
That's still factual. Who would disagree??
Your thesis statement must include factual information (which you already have) plus your position/opinion/stance. Without your position/opinion 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!)

This is one of the very best places I've seen online to help students write good thesis statements. It shows you sentences that aren't thesis statements and how to turn each one into real thesis statements.

ok i'll try again
The first part is not part of the thesis statement. It's part of your introduction.
A thesis statement is SINGULAR!! It's one sentence. Please concentrate only on this part:
The most famous one is "The Most dangerous Game" In “The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell, the author’s use of irony, choice of setting details, and selection of a chronological text structure create suspense in the story.
This makes no sense.
i really don't know what to put
This part of that sentence sounds very "canned," as if it came from Sparknotes or eNotes or somewhere:
... the author’s use of irony, choice of setting details, and selection of a chronological text structure create suspense in the story.
How can you put that into your own words AND emphasize the suspense he created? Which of those three elements creates suspense the best? (Think about the story's ending.) How does the story end? Did you have to read it 3 or 4 times to "get it"??
