An
analytical essay is a combination of two different words. Firstly, we have to
understand what is meant by analysis and what is an essay?
Analytical essay:
In
which you give a concept about any topic in detail. You present more than one
arguments, claims about this topic. You have to explain your topic as much as
you can. Analytical essays are different as compared to other simple essays.
When you analyze something you have to make a long discussion on it for better
understanding. The purpose of written this type of essay is to enhance the
understanding of readers. Now the question is, how to write an analytical
essay? When you are writing an analytical essay you have to break your topic
into different parts. Then make a long discussion with the help of different
arguments.
For
example:
I'm
choosing a 'book' for an analytical essay. Then I should have to analyze all
methods that the author used in his book. Then I will tell how the author
writes this book, what types of methods are used in the book. What is the
impact of the book on readers? I have to analyze all aspects.
How to write an analytical essay?
Step 1: Select
any topic, if you want to write on your own chosen topic. Then must choose the
topic which is perfect for discussion, making arguments. But if you have been
assigned any topic then write on it. After choosing your title of the essay,
draw a rough idea on a paper just like a storyboard. This step is called
brainstorming before writing the essay you have to think about it. How you will
cover your topic with what arguments? This step needs your creative skills.
Recognize the type of your essay topic, for example, you are writing about any
historical place then you have to focus on history, dates, wars, or anything
that happened in this place. If you are writing on topics related to scientific
research. Then analyze your content with the help of scientific methods.
Step 2: Write
an introduction paragraph for your topic. In this section, you should have
mentioned the introduction of the author, tell about your theme, give a summary
of what you are going to explain. Write your introduction in an interesting way
like a write thesis statement in the introduction. This thesis statement will
make your introduction most interesting.
Step 3: Now
you will have to write a detailed note on your topic. Divide your topic into
different parts and explain each part of the topic with the help of arguments.
In the body of your essay, you can also write background information about your
essay.
Step 4: Make
your paragraph more informative by giving a clear topic sentence. Like when you
start the next paragraph in your essay must introduce your subtopic sentence.
For example, my essay topic is "analytical essay" but I'm writing a
paragraph on "descriptive essay". This is a subtopic of my essay
topic. So when you are writing introduce your subtopic and then give detail
about it in your paragraph.
Step 5: When
you are writing the main body of your essay make an arguments discussion. In
this part, you have to convince your readers. So, support your arguments with
the help of evidence.
If
you are writing an essay related to scientific research. Then add all
scientific methods in it that are relatable to your topic. You can use this
scientific method or any research-based information as evidence.
Step 6: Don't
be biased when you are writing an analytical essay. You just have to give your
point of view to clarify your statement. If there is any research happened on
your topic you can also add this information in your essay by giving reference.
Step 7: This
is the last and most important part of your analytical essay. Because if the
reader has no much time for reading essay then your reader must read your
introduction and end part of your essay. If your introduction is not interesting,
then the reader will not pay attention to your essay. Might be possible reader
will not read your essay. So your introduction and conclusion should be
interesting and informative. In a conclusion paragraph, try to give your
readers a satisfying experience of reading your essay. Give your point of view
in this section and if you want to recommend anything you can mention it in
this paragraph. Don't introduce any new topic in your conclusion. Summarize
your analysis in your last paragraph.
Might
be possible you get a low grade if your content consists of many mistakes when
you are making an assignment, check your grammar mistakes, punctuation errors,
and spellings. Make sure that you are using the correct format for essay
writing like font size must be 12, use Times New Roman, etc.
