How to write an Analysis Paper


The thing with papers, you don’t have to be honest. Make up something that happened to you and compare it to the book. As long as you go into details about the difference between stories and real-life, you’re teacher will never know, or care that you made it up. 





Be sure to quote the story a lot, it should flow. Use an intro to the quote explaining what it is about, quote, then explain why the quote is meaningful and relate it back to an out side story (a movie, an article, another book, anything!)





Finding a way to show what you have learned is the main idea. While you read, annotate your book. I know, it sucks monkey balls, but it’s worth it. You can go back to your notes and instantly remember what was going on and what you thought of it. Use your annotations to describe how you felt about different passages in the book. Reiterate with quotes and more “real-world” examples.





Analysis Papers are, in my opinion, the easiest to write. As long as you actually read, you are simply putting down on paper what you learned about the characters and how you use their stories to impact your life- which you can pretty much bull shit anyway!





So good luck on your homework, and feel free to message me with any questions, comments, or help you may need (in any subject)
