Analysis Essay:
A literary analysis essay develops a
claim about a text and does more than summarize. In a summary essay, you
inform the reader about what a text sayssumming up the main points,
events, or ideas. In an analysis essay, however, you must go beyond
summary to draw some larger conclusions about the significance of those
events. What larger messages or themes are being presented through the
details? In analysis, you must make claims of interpretation in your
thesis and topic sentences. You then present textual details and
analysis of those details in order to support your interpretation. In
other words, you will be writing a thesis-driven essay, in which your thesis puts forth a claim about the text, and your analysis serves as a means of supporting that thesis.

In this essay, you will make an
analytical claim about how you see Sherman Alexie in “Superman and Me”
applying key concepts from the essay “How Kids Learn Resilience.”
An analytical claim is
one in which you make analytical observations you have reached in your
interpretation of the text. The prompt is certainly open for
interpretation; however, keep in mind, not ALL interpretations of a text
are correct. You must support yours with evidence from the reading.

Your thesis will need to:
state concrete ways you see Alexie illustrating concepts from Tough’s essay
apply specific concepts and terminology from Tough’s essay
A strong thesis will analyze the application of at least two or three concepts from Tough’s essay.
Note: When you introduce these
concepts within the body of your essay, you must first introduce and
explain the concepts you are taking from “How Kids Learn Resilience”
before you can explain how you see Alexie applying them. Therefore, you
will move back and forth your discussion of these two texts, explaining
how you see one (Alexie) applying concepts you learned about from the
other (Tough).

paragraph, which summarizes your key points and leaves the reader with a
lasting sense of the importance of your claim.
Provide sufficient support from the text to support your interpretation.
