First of all, you have to decide what you think the answer to the question is.

Think about it and post what you think -- don't worry at first if it's in the form of a thesis statement or not -- just post what you think the answer to the question is.
Mattie develops a romantic passion toward Ethan
OK, now ... is that factual? That is, is this what happens in the story and can be proven by means of specific dialogue or other places in the text?
Jeff, I think you are on the right track with your thesis, if I remember the book correctly. Follow Writeteacher's advice developing your essay thesis.
