How to Write an Analytical Essay

1. How to Write an Analytical Essay. Getting Started
Definition:

An analytical essay is helpful when a more full understanding of an examined object is needed.

General Guidelines:

Anything can become an object of your investigation: an event, a piece of art, or a literary work. Whatever it is, preparation for writing is important.
- when an object is chosen, take it apart, and examine each single part of it thoroughly;
- examine your object in its historical context (if it is a painting, how is it connected to its epoch and artistic requirements?);
- discover the message of the object (what did the author want to say in an evaluated book, for example);

Tips on essay writing:

When analyzing, write down all your ideas. Not all of them will appear in your essay writing, but it’s always good to have a choice. Plus, you never know what you can come up with, and it can be something really outstanding.
Don’t hesitate to write something new and unordinary.
It might sound crazy, but try to fall in love with your topic. If you get inspired, your essay writing will be a depiction of your inspiration; therefore, you’ll get a positive feedback.
2. How to Write an Analytical Essay. The Introduction
Definition:

The Introduction gives a brief explanation of your topic to the readers.

General Guidelines:

The main item of the Introduction (and an essay paper as a whole) is a thesis statement; therefore, everything has to be built around it:
- an abstract – key information about the evaluated object;
- your claim, or a thesis statement – an answer to this information, and your reaction on it;
- direction sentences - explain how your thesis will be supported or developed in the body of your essay;
- an introduction has to be at least eight sentences long.

Our tips on essay writing:

Any thesis statement has to give a reply to a topic, and not just restate it.
3. How to Write an Analytical Essay. The Main Body
Definition:

The Body argues the case you have laid out in your Introduction

General Guidelines:

All your evidence and facts have to be stated here. A certain structure of body paragraph is required. It consists of:
- the topic sentence, or the main idea, that tells the reader briefly what the paragraph is about;
- supporting points (from four to five);
- a concluding sentence that ends a discussion on this topic.

Our tips on essay writing:

Go back and see, whether an outline in the introduction matches the coherence of the body paragraphs.
If needed, give an explanation to your supporting facts.
4. How to Write an Analytical Essay. The Conclusion
Definition:

The goal of any conclusion is always the same – summarize and stress the main ideas.

General Guidelines:

- a conclusion has to be at least two sentences long;
- it has to give a sense of completeness;
- it has to leave a reader with a clear picture in mind.
