Question

I've seen this question a bunch and I've read all of them I could find and none of them helped I'm not asking for anyone to write my essay or to explain to me how to write the essay. I need help getting it started and hitting all the key points once I've started it. I've let this lesson go overdue because I have no help at home with this essay. I chose Raymond's run I've read the story a few times and have a pretty good understanding of it.Write an essay in which you analyze the importance of plot events and characters’ actions to the development of a story’s theme. Review and evaluate a 
story from the unit that has a clearly identifiable theme. You might choose “Raymond’s Run” by Toni Cade Bambara, “The Story-Teller” by Saki, “The Finish of Patsy Barnes” by Paul Laurence Dunbar, or “The Drummer Boy of Shiloh” by Ray Bradbury. Be sure to identify the story and write a clear statement of its theme. In your essay, answer the following question: How do various elements of the story—conflict and resolution, characters’ dialogue and behavior—contribute to the story’s theme?
