ENGL101 Jewell – ANALYSIS ESSAY
Really rough draft due May 17 - Rough draft due May 22 – Final draft due May 24
Your third major essay for this class is an Analysis Essay. For this assignment, you will be writing about
Michael Lewis’ “Coach Fitz’s Management Theory,” and you have three options:
Rhetorical Analysis - Your essay should analyze the writing techniques used in the essay and
demonstrate how these techniques help achieve the essay’s purpose – what is said, what the intended
effect are, and/or how the author is represented. The writing techniques you analyze may include word
choice, sentence structure, imagery, use of such rhetorical modes as narration, description, and argument,
and an author‘s tone.
Interpretative Analysis – You will offer up an interpretation of the essay you are analyzing that is not
directly stated. This approach relies most heavily on making inferences. Your interpretation should be
discussed as one among many to make clear it is an arguable position; one way to do this is to set your
interpretation in opposition to the obvious or literal interpretation.
Analytical Tool – Your final option is to consider what meaning you might find in the essay when looking
at it specifically in the context of education and learning. This option asks that you unlock some meaning
in the text with this analytical tool that may not have been obvious outside of this context.
The purpose of analysis is to better understand the text and then demonstrate that understanding in
essay form; you might think of your essay as a companion piece to the analyzed essay that could
enrich future readers’ experience with the text. Analytical writing begins with closely reading a text,
breaking it down into its parts (major and minor points), and seeing how those parts relate to each other.
Successful essays will proceed from a complex and non-obvious thesis. While it does not need to be a
specifically persuasive essay, it will take an argumentative stance, meaning the thesis is debatable and
embraces a degree of uncertainty. Though not strictly argumentative, you will still need to employ the
aspects of effective argument we discussed. Your aim is to present a complete view of the text that
accounts for multiple potential interpretations. In essence, the validity of your thesis is the argument you
are trying to defend; it is the central debatable claim for which you must provide grounds and explain
warrants (considering qualifiers and rebuttals as well).
Minimum four full pages, double-spaced, 12 pt Times New Roman, 1” margins. Please include your name,
the date, and your class section in the upper left hand corner of the first page. All essays should include a
title and must use MLA citations of referenced work.
