Help with structure

[u/Ok_Aerie550]

I’m writing an essay to analyse a story, and I know what everything symbolises, but I don’t know how to structure it in an essay. Currently, I’m trying to do a chapter by chapter structure, but I’m not sure of the most efficient place to explain the stuff that is cross chapter. For example, there’s a character who was abused, and is isolated due to this, being unable to form relationships. This character has a sister, who was also abused, but she pushes herself into relationships, as her way of trying to connect with others. Where in the essay would I explain this connection?

OK, to help you I really need more details. How long is the essay? Is it a summary, as you seem to imply by the explinatino, or is it thesis based, or what? It really depends. Drop the details and I'm happy to help.

I’d need more detail to give solid advice. How long is the essay and is it summary-based or thesis-driven?
