How to Write a Critical Analytical Essay<\/span>
1)<\/span> <\/span>Things to keep in mind:<\/span>
a)<\/span> <\/span>Use the present tense.<\/span>
b)<\/span> <\/span>Formal language is required.<\/span>
c)<\/span> <\/span>When you use quotations they must be seamless. If you have to change a word in your<\/span>
quotation to make it seamless, put the change in square brackets.<\/span>
d)<\/span> <\/span>Use indentations to begin each new paragraph. Double space.<\/span>
e)<\/span> <\/span>Don\u2019t use the thesaurus and then choose a word that you are not absolutely certain of<\/span>
in the context in which you intend to use it. Incorrect usage of vocabulary will affect<\/span>
meaning and will lower your mark.<\/span>
f)<\/span> <\/span>Do not use personal pronouns. When you use \u201cyou\u201d, you are including the reader. Don\u2019t<\/span>
do this!<\/span>
g)<\/span> <\/span>Avoid beginning sentences with \u201cThis\u201d. Instead be specific.<\/span>
h)<\/span> <\/span>Once you have told the reader that the literature you have chosen is a short story,<\/span>
memoir, film etc. don\u2019t repeat this information, it is word filler and redundant.<\/span>
i)<\/span> <\/span>Do not use filler phrases such as \u201cat the beginning of the story,\u201d \u201cin the middle of the<\/span>
story,\u201d etc. This is empty language-in other words-useless information use to fill in white<\/span>
space.<\/span>
j)<\/span> <\/span>Deal with significant elements of the full text, not just a single event or merely the<\/span>
beginning of the text. You must demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of the<\/span>
literature.<\/span>
k)<\/span> <\/span>When you are ready to submit your essay edit it again. Look specifically for tense issues,<\/span>
poorly constructed sentences, rambling sentences, sentence fragments, too many<\/span>
sentences beginning with a subject, imprecise and incorrect use of vocabulary and<\/span>
wordiness (unnecessary words that interfere with meaning rather than facilitate<\/span>
meaning).<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The structure of the essay:<\/span>
1)<\/span> <\/span>You can use the five paragraph essay in the beginning however, according to Alberta Learning<\/span>
there is no such thing as typical length. The essay is as long as it needs to be with a minimum of<\/span>
five paragraphs, one for introduction, three body and one for your conclusion.<\/span>
2)<\/span> <\/span>Thesis Statement<\/span>
Your first task is to create a thesis statement based on the topic you have been given (the<\/span>
question you are given on an in-class essay and on the diploma). The thesis is like a<\/span>
mathematical equation. It is what you believe that the author has said about the topic and must<\/span>
be provable based on the text. Your opinions have no place in this essay. It is only what you can<\/span>
demonstrate and support using the text. Do not moralize and do not tell what you think. In the<\/span>
thesis you state what you believe the author has to say about the topic through plot structure,<\/span>
character development, setting, point of view, tone and mood, symbolism, irony, juxtaposition,<\/span>
diction etc. Link you thesis to the theme of the literature you have chosen and to the topic. A<\/span>
good way to start your thesis statement is to begin as follows:<\/span>
In his short story, \u201cThe Painted Door,\u201d Sinclair Ross demonstrates that when a person is lonely,<\/span>
discontent, vulnerable and isolated, he or she will make unwise decisions that have dreadful<\/span>
consequences (the topic is choices and the theme is isolation). A thesis is what the writer has to<\/span>
say about the human condition that could be applied in many situations. Therefore, the thesis<\/span>
does not have names of characters.<\/span>
3)<\/span> <\/span>Opening Paragraph<\/span>
a)<\/span> <\/span>In one or two sentences, define the topic in relation to the story but don\u2019t be too specific.<\/span>
Since choices is the topic in this example, limit your definition to decisions made by<\/span>
characters in the story as well as the consequences that follow. Do not use character names<\/span>
etc. The introduction is general because you are commenting on the human condition.<\/span>
b)<\/span> <\/span>Now insert your thesis statement.<\/span>
c)<\/span> <\/span>Write a statement identifying the specific character (s) and conflict in the literature you are<\/span>
analyzing.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

4)<\/span> <\/span>Body Paragraphs:<\/span> <\/span>usually three.<\/span>
Each body paragraph is one part of your evidence to prove your thesis. Each body paragraph<\/span>
must have a focus which you introduce in your opening or topic sentence. Use 2-3 examples,<\/span>
from the literature, as proof of what you believe the author is saying and finally, close or clinch<\/span>
the paragraph by making it absolutely clear why the evidence you have supplied has proven the<\/span>
thesis. An effective way to structure each paragraph is by following the SEXY pattern outlined<\/span>
below.<\/span>
SEXY Pattern<\/span>
S<\/span>-Statement that introduces the main\/controlling idea.<\/span>
E<\/span>-Evidence<\/span>
X-<\/span>Explanation and interpretation of the evidence. Fully explain how the evidence supports your<\/span>
controlling idea. This is where you present your analysis. In critical\/analytical writing, you must<\/span>
interpret and analyze the evidence to explain how it supports the controlling idea. Your thinking<\/span>
must be insightful and at least, coherent. Incoherent writing is an indicator of incoherent<\/span>
thinking. Your ability to think about literature and present a logical coherent understanding is<\/span>
being evaluated. The best thinking is insightful and illuminating, causing the reader to develop a<\/span>
better understanding of the literature. As well, \u201cany old\u201d evidence is not acceptable! Note the<\/span>
word relevant. In order to achieve excellent, evidence must be \u201cprecise and astutely chosen.\u201d<\/span>
Y<\/span>-From the closing sentences, it must be absolutely clear Y-why the evidence you have supplied<\/span>
in the paragraph has proven the controlling idea. Do not leave it up to the reader to \u201cread your<\/span>
mind.\u201d Create a strong link back to the controlling idea.<\/span>
Form and Structure:<\/span>
Your paragraphs must be connected so that the reader could not place them in a different<\/span>
order. Use transition words to connect ideas. Some examples of transition words are: in<\/span>
addition, moreover, another, next, specifically, currently, consequently, similarly, on the other<\/span>
hand, conversely, etc. To find others search transition words in essays.<\/span>
5)<\/span> <\/span>Conclusion<\/span>
The purpose of this paragraph is to remind the reader of what you have proven. Therefore,<\/span>
restate your thesis in different words, this time being more specific. Remind the reader of you<\/span>
major areas of proof. This paragraph must be powerful because it is your last opportunity to<\/span>
impress the reader. Do not introduce any new information. Do not offer your opinion. Do not<\/span>
moralize. Do not express your opinions about the skill or lack thereof of the author. Make sure<\/span>
your conclusion does not resemble your opening paragraph.<\/span>
You have the rubric that will be used to mark your essay. Read it carefully. Plot summary is not<\/span>
the purpose of this essay and you can\u2019t pass by doing so.<\/span><\/p>\n
