Follow the entire writing process, whether you're writing for science, history, English, or whatever:
Prewriting: Brainstorm, research, plan, outline, thesis statement
Writing: Write first draft by starting with section II of your outline; write the introduction after the body of the paper is written; write the conclusion last.
Polishing: Revise, concentrating first on the body of the paper, then the intro, then the concl (revision = making sure ideas are logical and sequential and support your thesis); proofread (spelling, grammar, usage, etc.)
Do you have a thesis yet? Have you done your brainstorming (and maybe research) yet? Have you written an outline?

It seems like you are struggling with clarifying your thesis statement and organizing your thoughts for your paper. Developing a clear and organized thesis statement is crucial as it sets the foundation for your entire paper. Let's break down the process step-by-step to help you better understand and address your issue.
1. Understand the purpose of a thesis statement:
- The thesis statement is a concise, specific, and arguable claim that presents the main idea of your paper.
- It serves as a roadmap for your readers, informing them about the main focus of your essay and what they can expect to read.
2. Review your current thesis statement:
- "If Richard is God and Richard and Pi are one then Pi is God."
- This statement is a bit unclear and may need some revision to make your main idea more evident and well-structured.
3. Identify the main idea of your paper:
- Take some time to think about your argument and the points you want to make in your essay.
- Reflect on your claim about Richard, Pi, and their relationship to God. What message or conclusion do you want to convey?
4. Refine and reword your thesis statement:
- Consider the structure and clarity of your thesis statement. It should be specific and coherent.
- Let's reword your statement to make it more organized: "This paper argues that the novel (mention the novel's title) suggests a connection between Richard, Pi, and the divine, raising questions about the nature of their identities and the existence of a higher power."
5. Organize your paper around your thesis statement:
- Use your thesis statement as a guide to structure your essay. Each paragraph should relate to your main idea and support your argument.
- Outline your paper to ensure a logical flow and coherence between paragraphs. Start with an introduction, followed by body paragraphs, and conclude with a strong summary or conclusion.
Remember, developing a clear thesis statement and organizing your thoughts are iterative processes. Don't be afraid to revise and refine your thesis statement as you continue to research and develop your arguments.
