Summary of 141-159

The selection of pages 141 to 159 cover the different ways to tackle an analysis paper and what mediums will complement what formalities of writing such a paper. It covers the casual, formal, viral, physical formulas and oddities that come with creating an analysis paper for the specific audience the author chooses to address. A graph has to be complemented by the following text, explaining its purpose and defining the figures. Graphics attached to the paper have to correlate to the topic and the surrounding text. Not only are non-narrative figures covered, but sources are valued variably through different levels of formalities. If a formal paper is reviewed by an academic crowd, it’s near impossible to have your position be heard without credible sources and statistics. If merely blogging or talking to someone you’re comfortable around, you’ll not be as hard pressed to present your sources. The selection covers five characteristic features commonly featured in analysis papers: “A question that prompts you to take a closer look,” “Some description of the subject you are analyzing,” “Evidence drawn from close examination of the subject,” “Insight gained from your analysis,” and “Clear, precise language.” These categories are covered as the text runs through various examples of analysis papers in different mediums.
