- An analysis (analytical essay) is not a summary. Though this may seem obvious in theory, it's more difficult in practice. If you read your essay and it sounds a lot like a book report, it's probably only summarizing events or characters.
- One way to figure out if you're summarizing instead of analyzing is to look at your support. Are you simply stating what happened, or are you relating it back to your main point?
- Analytical essays usually concentrate on how the book or essay was written-for example, how certain themes present themselves in the story, or how the use of metaphor brings a certain meaning to a poem.
- In short, this type of essay requires you to look at the smaller parts of the work to help shed light on the larger picture.
- An example of a prompt could look like this:Analyze Stephen King's analogy of the "toolbox" with writing. (please use this topic)
- Remember that the thesis tells the reader your opinion / point of view / interpretation of the subject under discussion:
