Study Notes
Types of Papers and Criticism
- A reflection paper is a formal evaluation of a journal, an event, or a program.
- Deconstructive criticism views language as an unstable medium, and it takes the opposite meaning of the definition of a word.
- Formal criticism, on the other hand, analyzes the definition of a text using its denotative meaning.
Literary Criticism
- Literary analysis refers to an evaluation or analysis of any literary piece of work, aided by evidence and other literary devices and views from other researchers.
- Formalist criticism focuses on the structure, style, form, and elements of a literary piece.
- Deconstructive criticism, however, views language as an unstable medium and takes the opposite meaning of the definition of a word.
Writing a Review
- A review is an exhaustive recitation of facts and statistics.
- When writing a critique paper, one should consider the text, key arguments, and conclude the introduction with a brief statement of the evaluation of the text.
- The body of the review is the most important part in writing a review.
Thesis Statement
- A thesis statement is a single sentence, preferably a simple declarative sentence, that expresses the basic ideas around which the paper will develop.
- The strongest thesis statement is one that is clear, concise, and makes a claim.
- A thesis statement is important in reading academic texts because it is the single most useful organizational tool for both the writer and the reader.
Outlining
- An outline is a tool for organizing ideas and creates a visual picture after reading.
- The standard format uses numbers only.
- Outlining helps the reader organize ideas from the reading text.
Analysis
- Formal analysis describes the different elements present in the text, such as tone and mood.
- Deconstructive analysis, on the other hand, deconstructs the meaning of the text as to how it is used.
