=<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">Analyzing a passage = <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">In writing about literature or any specific text, you will strengthen your discussion if you offer specific passages from the text as evidence. Rather than simply dropping in quotations and expecting their significance and relevance to your argument to be self-evident, you need to provide sufficient analysis of the passage. Remember that your over-riding goal of analysis writing is to demonstrate some new understanding of the text.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">How to analyze a text?

 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">Read or reread the text with specific questions in mind.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">Marshal basic ideas, events and names. Depending on the complexity of book, this requires additional review of the text.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">Think through your personal reaction to the book: identification, enjoyment, significance, application.
 * 4) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">Identify and consider most important ideas (importance will depend on context of class, assignment, study guide).
 * 5) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">Return to the text to locate specific evidence and passages related to the major ideas.
 * 6) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">Use your knowledge following the principles of analyzing a passage described below: test, essay, research, presentation, discussion, enjoyment.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">Principles of analyzing a passage

 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">Offer a thesis or topic sentence indicating a basic observation or assertion about the text or passage.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">Offer a context for the passage without offering too much summary.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">Cite the passage (using correct format).
 * 4) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">Then follow the passage with some combination of the following elements:Repeat the process of context, quotation and analysis with additional support for your thesis or topic sentence.
 * Discuss what happens in the passage and why it is significant to the work as a whole.
 * Consider what is said, particularly subtleties of the imagery and the ideas expressed.
 * Assess how it is said, considering how the word choice, the ordering of ideas, sentence structure, etc., contribute to the meaning of the passage.
 * Explain what it means, tying your analysis of the passage back to the significance of the text as a whole.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">Sample analysis paragraphs
===<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">from James McBride’s The Color of Water === <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">An important difference between James and his mother is their method of dealing with the pain they experience. While James turns inward, his mother Ruth turns outward, starting a new relationship, moving to a different place, keeping herself busy. Ruth herself describes that, even as a young girl, she had an urge to run, to feel the freedom and the movement of her legs pumping as fast as they can (42).(this is a page number) As an adult, Ruth still feels the urge to run. Following her second husband’s death, James points out that, “while she weebled and wobbled and leaned, she did not fall. She responded with speed and motion. She would not stop moving” (163). As she biked, walked, rode the bus all over the city, “she kept moving as if her life depended on it, which in some ways it did. She ran, as she had done most of her life, but this time she was running for her own sanity” (164). Ruth’s motion is a pattern of responding to the tragedy in her life. As a girl, she did not sit and think about her abusive father and her trapped life in the Suffolk store. Instead she just left home, moved on, tried something different. She did not analyze the connections between pain and understanding, between action and response, even though she seems to understand them. As an adult, she continues this pattern, although her running is modified by her responsibilities to her children and home. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">The image of running that McBride uses here and elsewhere supports his understanding of his mother as someone who does not stop and consider what is happening in her life yet is able to move ahead. Movement provides the solution, although a temporary one, and preserves her sanity. Discrete moments of action preserve her sense of her own strength and offer her new alternatives for the future. Even McBride’s sentence structure in the paragraph about his mother’s running supports the effectiveness of her spurts of action without reflection. Although varying in length, each of the last seven sentences of the paragraph begins with the subject “She” and an active verb such as “rode,” “walked,” “took,” “grasp” and “ran.” The section is choppy, repetitive and yet clear, as if to reinforce Ruth’s unconscious insistence on movement as a means of coping with the difficulties of her life. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 60%;">(Goshen College.
