【正文】 texts How is a literary analysis an argument? ? When writing a literary analysis, you will focus on specific attribute(s) of the text(s). ? When discussing these attributes, you will want to make sure that you are making a specific, arguable point (thesis) about these attributes. ? You will defend this point with reasons and evidence drawn from the text. (Much like a lawyer!) Which is the best thesis statement? ? MobyDick is about the problem of evil. ? MobyDick is boring and pointless. ? MobyDick is about a big, white whale. ? The use of “whiteness” in MobyDick illustrates the uncertainty about the meaning of life that Ishmael expresses throughout the novel. How do I support a thesis statement? ? Examples from the text: ? Direct quotations ? Summaries of scenes ? Paraphrase ? Other critics’ opinions ? Historical and social context ? Always remember to read carefully and highlight useful passages and quotes! Today’s writing task Rewrite the essay after you read THE FOURTH OF JULY carefully once again. Focus on ONE specific aspect only, and try to analyze that point further. Requirement: no less than 500 words, the longer the better
