Wuthering Heights

Hello, I am in dire need of assistance in writing a paper for my Ap Lit class. I am supposed to be writing an essay on how a number of literary elements such as diction style, tone characterization are used to describe, convey a meaning (or theme) of the book. The book we are reading is the , and I can’t seem to think of a good thesis. Other then “Emily Bronte uses x, y, and z to convey how Heathcliff feels for Catherine even at an early age. The paragraph I’m thinking about using is this—

Heathcliff bore his degradation pretty well at first, because Cathy taught him what she learnt, and worked or played with him in the fields. They both promised fair to grow up as rude as savages; the young master being entirely negligent how they behaved, and what they did, so they kept clear of him. He would not even have seen after their going to church on Sundays, only Joseph and the curate reprimanded his carelessness when they absented themselves; and that reminded him to order Heathcliff a flogging, and Catherine a fast from dinner or supper. But it was one of their chief amusements to run away to the moors in the morning and remain there all day, and the after punishment grew a mere thing to laugh at. The curate might set as many chapters as he pleased for Catherine to get by heart, and Joseph might thrash Heathcliff till his arm ached;oh okay



Any help would be greatly appreciated greatly; I am at a completely and utterly lost ):
