Hey Emily! You should treat it just the same as you would treat any other question; your understanding will come through in your ideas and analysis. Definitely don't use personal pronouns, and just make your Thesis exactly what you learned from the text. It's all about embedding your understanding within the typical essay style and structure

Good luck!
