Well. You first have to decide on what point you are going to prove in your essay. You have to take a stance, and your paper has to back it up.

So ask yourself: What do I feel about this book? What point can I make to express this feeling to someone else? Do you have a unique vision of what the book was trying to say, some kind of interesting spin maybe? This is what should compromise your thesis statement. You thesis should be direct, and not ambiguous at all.

Then, pick a few points from the novel that back up your thesis statement. These points are what will make your topic sentences. Yout topic sentences have to reinforce your thesis, and also be direct and to the point. If you write a topic sentence, then the rest of the paragraph must follow the logic of the TS and reflect back to your thesis.

Order your TS's from your weakest argument to your strongest. The strongest arguments should be just before the conclusion so you can properly sway the reader to your viewpoint.

When you get to the conclusion, you typically restate your thesis, and a few sentences on how your TS's have proved your point. Then leave the paper with a last line of finality, the last nail in the coffin, so to speak, so the reader will knwo your viewpoint is proper.

So an outline:

A. Thesis Statement
B. TS #1
a. Supporting evidence
b. Supporting evidence
c. " " "
C. TS #2
a. Supporting evidence.......ad nauseum.

You see the pattern I hope

X. Conclusion

I read this book a while ago and could maybe help out, but your question is way too vague. You should ask more specific questions about the novel, otherwise it's going to be tough for us to help you.

The most help you will get will come from actually reading the book.
If the words don't come from you it's not your paper.
Now get busy.
