Your analysis will identify the author’s argument, the writing situation and audience assumptions, the appeals used, and the extent to which the author accomplishes the implied aims of the piece. You will focus on the construction and delivery of the argument in this piece of writing, not on the issue the argument addresses. Therefore, your analysis will be an argument appealing to reason, not a subjective response based on your own position concerning the essay’s subject matter. The evidence supporting your claim will be drawn from elements of the essay: its content, organization and structure, and its writing style.
