Can someone come up with a good thesis statement about the coming of age (theme) in TKAM? Thank you!

There are
many ways to come up with a thesis statement about the theme of coming of age. In light of this,
let me offer two possible thesis statements. 

In , bothandare forced to grow up by what they experience. They do
not ask to grow up; it is forced upon them. 

This thesis statement can
incorporate the alleged rape of Mayella. Also the whole trial is a wakeup call for the kids with
all the racism and hatred. Finally, there is also the death of Tom Robinson and the attempted
murder of Scout and Jem by Bob Ewell. 

Here is another thesis:

Scout and Jem are forced to grow up by their experiences, but so were other children
likeand Mayella Ewell. 

This is an interesting thesis, because we are looking
at minorwho suffered while they were younger. What makes it even more interesting is that one
grew up to falsely accuse a man; the other grew up to help other
children.
