Literary Analysis is a great ending to the semester because it pulls together both types of thinking and writing you have done this semester and uses to make something new. In order to write a good literary analysis you have to first analyze, which goes back to the informative writing when you were analyzing information and thinking critically about the research you found. In literary analysis writing you have to argue your insight and position on the work of literature so you have to pull on what you learned in the argument chapter. Literary analysis is also fun, at least to me, because I already do it when I watch movies, tv, or read books. For this essay much of the criteria is provided. You will elaborate and expand on that foundation. You will also include information and support from experts to support your claims. Your literary analysis needs to be about 1500 words and include 2-3 sources from the database or other approved source plus the work that you are writing on.
