You have asked a very broad question and I think the best answer to give is one that provides advice in the general sense of what you need to do to write an expository essay.
Remember that when you're writing expository, you will get good marks if you "expose" something profound. It's your turn to be as creative as you like, and remember that you can take this essay in whatever direction you want. It tests your skills to be able to read and interpret highly general ideas and understand how they can interrelate. You need to write an essay at the end (for your SAC, and for your end of year exam) that will connect all of the major components that you are expected to have studied into a cohesive piece of writing. So long as you can link the context you studied (all the ideas associated with "Encountering Conflict"), and understand how they are represented in your book, and then you're able to relate it to the those ideas alluded to in the prompt. How you develop your writing is up to you to elucidate. A generally good essay will prove something about the book, it will justify an logical idea related to a lot of the elements you study in the context and in your book. You then use evidence to justify whatever you are trying to prove is a valid statement. The ultimate goal is to expose something.
Generally you can do that really well by providing external "sources" or "examples", but you have to remember that these are highly dependent on whatever you want to argue. You should have a really clear idea of what you want to write or argue (and you should hopefully get a lot of these ideas from reading your book and thinking about the themes, characters and how they evoke ideas you associate with the context), and then build essay ideas around typical prompts.
Once you know what you want to argue, then go find ways to back it up and get your sources from the net, from other books, etc.
