This assignment gives you the opportunity to practice a set of skills that you will repeat over your Babson career and beyond: closely reading a text; making meaning of an aspect of that text through analysis; writing for a specific audience using conventions of a genre; and reflecting on your process and work.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><b>The first time we read a text, we often focus on the \u201cwhat\u201d: What does this text say? What do I think it means? What do I imagine the author meant to convey? These are great questions, and great starting points for analysis. However, for this assignment, I\u2019m asking you to go beyond the \u201cwhat\u201d and use our new skills of radical noticing to consider the \u201chow\u201d: How does the author convey meaning? How is this text constructed (of what parts)?&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><b>Textual analysis is a process of deconstructing a text in order to make meaning. Eventually, through this process of deconstruction, you will develop answers to the question \u201dSo what?\u201d and attempt to shape those answers into an argument for a certain reading of the text, written for a specific audience.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><b>Using the skills we have been practicing in our course, including closely reading a text, radical noticing, and meaning-making, write a 1100 \u2013 1400-word essay analyzing an aspect of one of our Project 2 course texts.
