A way to discover new ideas is by making a list/scheme for a story/ main idea. Some questions you might answer/ ask are what conflicts appear, where they appear between, how they are resolved, which comes out on top, why, and how do you respond to the winner/loser. Examples of such a scheme are given, they revolve around Dee, from "Everyday Use". You should just start mapping out the patterns and planning your essay. Make especially sure that you account for all of the actions/scenes that relate to your topic, or you might miss a piece of evidence/information.
Patterns of action and thought in a work can open up areas previously overlooked. Tracing these patterns can help lead you to a conclusion, or strengthen/weaken your already existing one. This continues from the previous article with the message to "just write". I found its suggestions about conflict and the questions surrounding them valuable to my own future essays. I learn from examples, so this article's exerpt/example from the story furthur helped demonstrate its point.
