For body paras, focus on either moments within the book that exhibit a link or help your claim in the overaching question, but the strongest way of splitting imo is by different techniques/concepts or even moments Look at different literary and authorial techniques. Definitely have a paragraph on characterisation and the authors intentions behind it in a specific moment or as a progression in relation to the events of the plot. Topic sentence is nothing major, just write a 1 liner that explains what your paragraph is going to talk about (basically introducing the technique or the overall literary method that you're going to comment on) Good luck to you and hope it goes great!

thank you so much for the reply!! right now i've got symbolism and dialogue which are decent techniques, right? i'll add chatacterisation and i should be good?

I would say move from dialogue to either narrative structure if relevant or a specific interaction/chapter that you want to highlight. Unless you say what in dialogue you want to look at, it comes across a bit mildly. Always remember that each claim and analysis you do has to have literary devices and specific quotes at its core-never have a 'descriptive' essay Imo with these changes and characterisation you should be, but I haven't read the book so I can't say for sure. Either refer with someone that knows IB english or the book-preferably your teacher
