Q. How many references do I need?
It's best to ask your lecturer for guidance on that. But as a general rule, it's rarely the case that hitting a certain number of references correlates to a good essay. Rather than ask how many references, read your essay asking yourself, how persuasive is it? If you find some of your statements and arguments lack evidence, it means you need a reference there. On the other hand, do the references add value to your essay? Don't just cite things for the sake of having a long reference list. Irrelevant citations can decrease the quality of your essay.
