What is a literary analysis?
• A literary analysis is not merely a summary of a literary work. Instead, it is an argument about the work that expresses a writer’s personal perspective, interpretation, judgment, or critical evaluation of the work. – This analysis is accomplished by examining the literary
devices, word choices, or writing structures the author uses within the work.
– The purpose of a literary analysis is to demonstrate why the author used specific ideas, word choices, or writing structures to convey his or her message.

Step 4: Develop your thesis

important for writers to make sure they express their own personal interpretation of the work. Be careful that the literary analysis is not a summary.
• Complete the THESIS WORKSHEET.

Step 5: Organize your information into a PARAGRAPH ORGANIZER and a typed TOPIC OUTLINE.
• PARAGRAPH ORGANIZER worksheet will help a writer to organize his/her thoughts and ideas.
• The TOPIC OUTLINE will remind a writer of the order of the thesis, as well as the supporting points he/she would like each topic sentence to have.– The outline needs to be written entirely in
complete sentences and typed.

parentheses. ( )• Generally, author’s last name and page or
paragraph number go in these.• You need to cite a source whenever:

Step 6: Write your paper
MLA Style Guide—Works Cited Page• How to cite your sources at the END of your research
paper, on your Works Cited page. • First, you start on a NEW page after the end of your
paper. At the top, you write the title: Works Cited and center it.
• List your resources in ALPHABETICAL ORDER. Most of your resources will be alphabetized by the author’s last name, because that is the first thing mentioned. However, if a source has no author, then you will alphabetize it by the first word of the name of the article.
![Page 14: Literary Analysis Research Paper Expectations & Requirements Mrs. Barnett.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649d0b5503460f949df832/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

book’s name if used as the title…To Kill A Mockingbird– Give your paper a title– Include your name– Include Mrs. Barnett, English III and your period number– Include the date– Include word count (body of paper-not the Works Cited or Header)
