Remember to make a list for yourself before you begin to write and turn that list into topic sentences that are proving your thesis right. Begin with a formal introduction of the text, then a short summary, at the end of the 1st paragraph state your thesis. In the ensuing paragraphs formulate 3 topic sentences (sub-topics) and use quotes, list of examples, and comment upon the quotes to prove your topic sentences right, which is ultimately proving your thesis right. The point is to show the reader the patterns you observe in the text.
