- 44. Rather than writing: ‘the race was really close,’ be more informational by writing: ‘the race was close enough to demand two recounts.’
Editor's Notes
- Today we will learn about different critical writing techniques and how to write an objective or balanced review or critique of a work of art, an event or a program
- Now, take a look at this picture and give at least 5 points that you see in the picture. All your comments are your analysis based on the picture. You somehow form an evaluation using your reaction and opinion. So, if you think that writing a critique, a review, a reaction paper is hard, think again. Because you have been evaluating and reacting to different works without knowing it.
- Like an essay….
- Writing a critique on a work helps us to develop …
- You can highlight some these important ideas or you can use these in expressing your views
- There are a few of them but today, we will only focus on the three of them
- In formalist criticism, it focuses on the text. If you are going to analyze a text focus on the text itself, the background of the text, the author’s background doesn’t matter. You are only focusing on the what is the text all about. In close reading, you are going to read the text word-by-word because formalist critiques believe that every word has a relation to one another and that the words here are correlated and they have relationships. The authors, readers and the social background of the text does not matter. What we are looking for here are the imagery, the figurative speeches or language found in the text, the text structure, the text style, and the tone of the text.
- And then we explore how are both symbols are being treated. Are females symbols being diminished or being pushed down or suppressed? Are male symbols being the champions? We might also find that female symbols are free and loose. These criticisms reveal how our culture views men as superior and women as inferior.
- It attempts to described what happens in the readers mind while interpreting the text and reflects reading and light writing as a creative process.
- Because these words can appear falsified or weak. So do not use these words.
