Grade 10 Essay Writing-Analysis Points

Some questions to answer to build your analysis when writing this literary and others:

-Am I summarizing the novel or showing my thoughts about the novel?

-Why does the author write the way she did?

-Does a literary device or symbol get repeated or highlighted for a reason? What is the reason?

-Ask hypothetical questions such as: What if there had been a witness to Mayella and Tom's interaction? How might that have changed things? (This type of hypothetical question is good for the conclusion.)

--Contrast and Compare: Is one character more relevant than an other, for example. Is one mother figure more nurturing, is on teacher more detrimental to Scout's learning etc.

-How is the work better understood in the era in which it was written? Or current era? How does it relate to other works by the same author or similar works?

-Why is the plot organized the way it is? What could the reason be?



Grade 10 Essay Tips

Essay Tips

Avoid introducing your ideas by stating "I think" or "in my opinion." 

Keep the focus on the subject of your analysis, not on yourself. Identifying your opinions weakens them.

Always introduce the work. Do not assume that because your reader knows what you are writing about, you do not need to mention the work's title.

Other questions to consider: Is there a controversy surrounding either the work or the subject which it concerns?

What about the subject matter is of current interest?

What is the overall value of the work?

What are its strengths and weaknesses?

Support your thesis with detailed evidence from the text examined. Do not forget to document quotes and paraphrases.

Remember that the purpose of a critical analysis is not merely to inform, but also to evaluate the worth, utility, excellence, distinction, truth, validity, beauty, or goodness of something.

Even though as a writer you set the standards, you should be open-minded, well informed, and fair. 
You can express your opinions, but you should also back them up with evidence.

Your essay should provide information, interpretation, and evaluation. The information will help your reader understand the nature of the work under analysis. 

The interpretation will explain the meaning of the work, therefore requiring your correct understanding of it. The analysis  will discuss your opinions of the work and present valid justification for them.
