What should I do if an essay is on something that I can't think up enough points for?

As soon as you can, write down the points that you can think of so you don't forget them later on and then take a minute to think of all the possible scenes or quotes you remember that could relate to the question. Even if you can't think of the point itself, thinking of a relating quote can then spark further inspiration for a possible point. However, if no more points come to mind, simply do the best with the ones you already have and see if you think of anything later. Remember that Point Evidence Explain Link is very important to completing an essay.
