Writing a literature review can be difficult, but with the right approach, it can be a simple way to improve your academic writing. Here are four suggestions for writing a concise and effective literature review.
The Review For this assignment, you will be required to w.docxssusera34210
The Review
For this assignment, you will be required to write a scholarly review of Cormac
McCarthy’s The Road. In this review, you will be required to interpret The Road within a
larger conversation (based on the themes you have been developing throughout the past
few weeks). Your review will need to include supplemental information from two of our
previous texts.
750 Word Minimum. Posted to your Class Blog. Legible font, images, sound, etc. strongly
recommended.
Why Write and How to Write a Review:
The purpose of a scholarly review is to summarize, analyze, evaluate, and place within a
field of scholarship whatever is being reviewed. Often, the audience of the scholarly
review has some familiarity with the text (book, movie, TV show, etc) that is being
reviewed. Even if this is not the case, the audience will have some background and/or
interest in the discipline and the subject. Consequently, the scholarly review is less a
summary and more a critical evaluation or commentary.
The type of review that you will engage in is often referred to as a critique, a critical
analysis, or a critical review. Whatever it’s called, the scholarly review tells an educated
audience of the significance of a text or film within the context of a discipline, field of
study, or particular subject or course.
Looking at reviews published in various magazines, newspapers, and scholarly journals
will give you a good idea of the differing audiences and forms of review. You can find
current book/movie reviews using the same library tools that you use to find any other
type of academic source. Using the advanced search option, choose “book review” as
your preferred document type to limit your search to only reviews.
What a Review is Not
• A review is not a research paper. Some students, instead of writing about a book or
a film when they are asked to write a review, write a research paper on the subject
of the book or film.
• A review is not a summary. While it is important to summarize the contents and
significance of whatever you review, you are not merely informing your audience
of the basic plot or events. Instead, you are writing towards a different audience
that will be interested in a critical evaluation, analysis, and/or commentary on the
material.
• A review is not an “off-the-cuff,” personal response. Writing a review will involve
communicating a personal view on the material, but flippant statements that don’t
express your understanding of what you have read do not further the conversation.
Comments like: “I thought the book was interesting” or “The book was boring”
are not sufficient. Instead, you should strive to explain why the book was
interesting (not only for yourself, but potentially for others). Did the text reveal
some new data/thoughts? In order to be effective, a reviewer must be fair and
accurate. You will need to work hard to express the underlying reasons for your
first reactions. ...

Instructions for the Literary Analysis Essay (English 1302 Online)
Literary Analysis
In this essay you should combine your practice responding and analyzing short stories with support derived from research. So far, in the discussion boards, we have practiced primarily formal analysis. Now I want you to practice "joining the conversation." In this essay you will write a literary analysis that incorporates the ideas of others. The trick is to accurately present ideas and interpretations gathered from your research while adding to the conversation by presenting
your own
ideas and analysis.
You will be evaluated, in part, on how well you use external sources. I want to see that you can quote, paraphrase and summarize without plagiarizing. Remember, any unique idea must be credited, even if you put it in your own words.
Choose one of the approaches explained in the "Approaches to Literary Analysis" located at the bottom of this document. Each approach will require research, and that research should provide the context in which you present your own ideas and support your thesis. Be sure to properly document your research. Review the links in the "Writing about Literature" tab as these will help guide you.
While I am asking you to conduct outside research, do not lose sight of the primary text to which you are responding---the story! Your research should support
your
interpretations of the story. Be sure that your thesis is relevant to the story and that you quote generously from the story.
Purpose: critical analysis, writing from sources
Length: 5 pages, approx 1500 words
Documentation: Minimum of 5 sources required. Documented in MLA format. (Note: review the material in "finding and evaluating sources" to help you choose relevant and trustworthy sources.)
Choose from the following short stories, all located in the folder located in this unit.
A Perfect Day for a
Bananafish
The Short Happy Life of Francis
Macomber
The Wall
The Swimmer
The Lesson
At the Auction of the Ruby Slippers
The Bound Man
The Birthmark
For Esme... with Love and Squalor
Below are some examples. I do not require you to choose one of these topics. They are just here to give you an idea of the type of approaches that will work for this essay.
1. Philosophical analysis: How do the stories by Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus reflect the philosophy of existentialism?
2. Socio/cultural analysis: What opinion about marriage and gender roles does Hemingway advance in "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber"?
3. Historical analysis: What social dilemmas faced by African Americans in the 1960s might have inspired Toni Cade Bambara to write "The Lesson"?
4. Biographical analysis: What events in Salman Rushdie's life might have influenced the events in "At the Auction of the Ruby Slippers"?

American Protest Literature - Literary Analysis Argument Essay
Assignment Description
Whether it looks backward in order to move America forward, builds connections across movements, demands empathy from readers, transforms its creators, crafts a politics of form, appropriates the master’s tools, or makes words into weapons, American protest literature tries to remake “a world beautiful,” as London puts it. The protest cycle beats on, boats against the current.
– Zoe Trodd xxviii
Trodd’s anthology
American Protest Literature
sets a variety of texts and protest art forms in conversation with each other. She describes these as falling into several “politics” for change. These are:
The Politics of Connection
The Politics of Form
The Politics of Appropriation
The Politics of Memory
For this project, you will write a four-to-five-page essay that analyzes and interprets four works and finds a unifying theme among them. You may use writings from the textbook itself (whether they were among the selected course readings or not) or you may explore other outside texts provided they are published sources that were written or created as a part of the social movements studied in the course. You will need at least
five total sources
of outside research for your essay documented in your Works Cited page.
You may do this assignment
one of two ways:
You may choose a social movement and describe how each of the four works you select contributes to the movement using the “politics” Zoe Trodd explains in her introduction to the text. How does each depict aspects of the movement and what strategies, tactics, or techniques does it use to influence the movement for change? Analyze and interpret each work using key quotes, paraphrases, and summaries as you compare it to the other works and how each contributes to the literature of protest within that movement.
Choose at least four pieces of protest literature from the entire range of movements in the course, or you may introduce texts you have researched that also contributed to these historical social movements. Find a unifying “politic” or strategy (for example: politics of memory or form) for all of them and discuss how that strategy or tactic uniquely contributed to the individual movements for which they were created. How does their unifying technique contribute to the body of protest literature that brought social change? Analyze and interpret each work using key quotes, paraphrases, and summaries as you compare it to the other works and how each contributes to the literature of protest within that movement.
Your work is to interpret the works to find unifying themes or tactics among them an.
BOOK REVIEWS How to write a book review There are two .docxmoirarandell
BOOK REVIEWS: How to write a book review
There are two approaches to book reviewing:
Descriptive reviews give the essential information about a book. This is done with description and
exposition, by stating the perceived aims and purposes of the author, and by quoting striking passages
from the text.
Critical reviews describe and evaluate the book, in terms of accepted literary and historical standards,
and supports this evaluation with evidence from the text. The following pointers are meant to be
suggestions for writing a critical review.
Basic requirements
To write a critical review, the reviewer must know two things:
Knowing the work under review: This demands not only attempting to understand the author's purpose
and how the component parts of the work contribute to that purpose, but also knowledge of the
author: his/her nationality, time period, other works etc.
Requirements of the genre: This means understanding the art form and how it functions. Without such
context, the reviewer has no historical or literary standard upon which to base an evaluation.
Reviewing essentials
Description of the book. Sufficient description should be given so that the reader will have some
understanding of the author's thoughts. This account is not a summary. It can be woven into the critical
remarks.
Discuss the author. Biographical information should be relevant to the subject of the review and
enhance the reader's understanding of the work under discussion.
Appraise the book. A review must be a considered judgment that includes:
a statement of the reviewer's understanding of the author's purpose
how well the reviewer feels the author's purpose has been achieved
evidence to support the reviewer's judgement of the author' achievement.
While you read:
Read the book with care.
Highlight quotable passages.
Note your impressions as you read.
Allow time to assimilate what you read so that the book can be seen in perspective.
Keep in mind the need for a single impression which must be clear to the reader.
The review outline
A review outline gives you an over-all grasp of the organization of the review, to determine the central
point your review will make, to eliminate inessentials or irrelevancies, and to fill in gaps or omissions.
Examine the notes you have made and eliminate those with no relationship to your central
thesis.
By organizing your discussion topics into groups, aspects of the book will emerge: e.g., theme,
character, structure, etc.
Write down all the major headings of the outline and fill in the subdivisions.
All parts should support your thesis or central point.
First draft
Opening paragraphs set the tone of the paper. Possible introductions usually make a statement about
the:
Thesis
Authorial purpose
Topicality of the work or its significance
Comparison of the work to others by the same author or within the same genre.

Analyze and interpret each work using key quotes, paraphrases, and summaries as you compare it to the other works and how each contributes to the literature of protest within that movement.
Your work is to interpret the works to find unifying themes or tactics among them and then argue for their unique contribution to their related social movement. Do not focus too much on summarizing; instead, interpret and explain to your reader how the strategies are expressed in the work and how the works intersect with one another. Bring Trodd’s “politics” to the surface through.

Essay # 2: Literary Analysis of a Short Story with Light Research
This assignment requires you to
analyze a work of fiction from my list of options (see link on Canvas assignment page). This essay requires you to
develop a focused and opinioned thesis about the story, as this assignment is not asking you to write a mere “book report” which is only a re-telling of the story. It also requires you to
find and use three sources to support your ideas:
one source that needs to be from a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal in literature that pertains to the story and/or the author (this source must be obtained through the HCC library databases) AND another source (website preferably) that DOES NOT pertain directly to the story nor to the author, but rather to
the theme presented in your thesis statement and discussed throughout your essay (you cannot pursue this second source until you’ve established your thesis and know what “angle” you are pursuing) AND a third source that is entirely your choice.
I. The Purpose of a Literary Analysis:
A literary analysis is not merely a summary of a literary work. This kind of analysis analysis, like any analysis, is just that:
ANALYTICAL! It is intended to reveal and/or explain meaning. Thus, the assumption is that meaning exists, and it is the job of a (close/active) reader to ferret it out and offer a response to it!
Far from being a mere summary, it is an argument, essentially, about the work that expresses the essay writer’s personal perspective, interpretation, judgment, or critical evaluation. This is accomplished by examining the literary devices, word choices, or writing structures the author uses within the work first, followed by a critical analysis of content. Another purpose of a literary analysis is to demonstrate why the author used specific ideas, word choices, or writing structures to convey his or her message.
II. How to Create a Literary Analysis:
1. Select (and ideally
print) one of the stories listed on my Learning Web page (linked on the Canvas assignment page for this essay assignment). The stories listed here are the only acceptable stories for this assignment, and they are all in full text so there’s no need to find them elsewhere.
2. Read the text closely at least a couple of times. Focus on the ideas that are being presented. Think about the characters’ development and the author’s writing technique. What might be considered interesting, unusual, or important?
3. Brainstorm a list of potential topics. Highlight important passages in the text and take notes on these passages. Think of the ideas/concepts that strike you as you read. Later, when writing the paper, these notes should help a writer to .
Part 1Globalization is the motivating force behind the busines.docxdanhaley45372
Part 1
Globalization is the motivating force behind the business environment in the 21st century.
Debate the following the veracity of the following statement:
Globalization only significantly affects the CEOs of multinational corporations and high-net-worth individuals.
If your last name begins with A-M you are to argue that the statement is true. If your last name begins with N-Z you are to argue that the statement is false. Reference your reading material. Remember that any debate requires that you try to persuade the reader to your point of view. Here are a few hints for your success:
· Make sure to end your discussion with your best argument.
· Use stronger definitive word choice for your best arguments.
· Open your argument with you second best supporting point.
· Put your weakest point in the middle and choose words which are descriptive to make it more interesting.
· NEVER USE “I think”, “I believe,” “I feel” or personal pronouns of any kind. Unfortunately unless you are an expert your opinions are not very convincing.
· Be creative with your ideas to keep the reader interested in your point of view.
· Do not make this a presentation, report or quotes.

develop a focused and opinioned thesis about the story, as this assignment is not asking you to write a mere “book report” which is only a re-telling of the story. It also requires you to
find and use three sources to support your ideas:
one source that needs to be from a peer-reviewed, scholarly journal in literature that pertains to the story and/or the author (this source must be obtained through the HCC library databases) AND another source (website preferably) that DOES NOT pertain directly to the story nor to the author, but rather to
the theme presented in your thesis statement and discussed throughout your essay (you cannot pursue this second source until you’ve established your thesis and know what “angle” you are pursuing) AND a third source that is entirely your choice.
I. The Purpose of a Literary Analysis:
A literary analysis is not merely a summary of a literary work. This kind of analysis analysis, like any analysis, is just that:
ANALYTICAL! It is intended to reveal and/or explain meaning. Thus, the assumption is that meaning exists, and it is the job of a (close/active) reader to ferret it out and offer a response to it!
Far from being a mere summary, it is an argument, essentially, about the work that expresses the essay writer’s personal perspective, interpretation, judgment, or critical evaluation. This is accomplished by examining the literary devices, word choices, or writing structures the author uses within the work first, followed by a critical analysis of content. Another purpose of a literary analysis is to demonstrate why the author used specific ideas, word choices, or writing structures to convey his or her message.
II. How to Create a Literary Analysis:
1. Select (and ideally
print) one of the stories listed on my Learning Web page (linked on the Canvas assignment page for this essay assignment). The stories listed here are the only acceptable stories for this assignment, and they are all in full text so there’s no need to find them elsewhere.
2. Read the text closely at least a couple of times. Focus on the ideas that are being presented. Think about the characters’ development and the author’s writing technique. What might be considered interesting, unusual, or important?
3. Brainstorm a list of potential topics. Highlight important passages in the text and take notes on these passages. Think of the ideas/concepts that strike you as you read. Later, when writing the paper, these notes should help a writer to .

Each approach will require research, and that research should provide the context in which you present your own ideas and support your thesis. Be sure to properly document your research. Review the links in the "Writing about Literature" tab as these will help guide you.
While I am asking you to conduct outside research, do not lose sight of the primary text to which you are responding---the story! Your research should support
your
interpretations of the story. Be sure that your thesis is relevant to the story and that you quote generously from the story.
Purpose: critical analysis, writing from sources
Length: 5 pages, approx 1500 words
Documentation: Minimum of 5 sources required. Documented in MLA format. (Note: review the material in "finding and evaluating sources" to help you choose relevant and trustworthy sources.)

Literature Reviews
What this handout is about
This handout will explain what literature reviews are and offer insights into the form and construction of literature reviews in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences.
Introduction
OK. You’ve got to write a literature review. You dust off a novel and a book of poetry, settle down in your chair, and get ready to issue a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” as you leaf through the pages. “Literature review” done. Right?
Wrong! The “literature” of a literature review refers to any collection of materials on a topic, not necessarily the great literary texts of the world. “Literature” could be anything from a set of government pamphlets on British colonial methods in Africa to scholarly articles on the treatment of a torn ACL. And a review does not necessarily mean that your reader wants you to give your personal opinion on whether or not you liked these sources.
What is a literature review, then?
A literature review discusses published information in a particular subject area, and sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time period.
A literature review can be just a simple summary of the sources, but it usually has an organizational pattern and combines both summary and synthesis. A summary is a recap of the important information of the source, but a synthesis is a re-organization, or a reshuffling, of that information. It might give a new interpretation of old material or combine new with old interpretations. Or it might trace the intellectual progression of the field, including major debates. And depending on the situation, the literature review may evaluate the sources and advise the reader on the most pertinent or relevant.
But how is a literature review different from an academic research paper?
The main focus of an academic research paper is to develop a new argument, and a research paper will contain a literature review as one of its parts. In a research paper, you use the literature as a foundation and as support for a new insight that you contribute. The focus of a literature review, however, is to summarize and synthesize the arguments and ideas of others without adding new contributions.
Why do we write literature reviews?
Literature reviews provide you with a handy guide to a particular topic. If you have limited time to conduct research, literature reviews can give you an overview or act as a stepping stone. For professionals, they are useful reports that keep them up to date with what is current in the field. For scholars, the depth and breadth of the literature review emphasizes the credibility of the writer in his or her field. Literature reviews also provide a solid background for a research paper’s investigation. Comprehensive knowledge of the literature of the field is essential to most research papers.
Who writes these things, anyway?
Literature reviews are written occasionally in the humanities, but mostly in the sciences and social scienc.
A Brief Overview of Literary Criticism .docxransayo
A Brief Overview of Literary Criticism
Woman Reading Book in a Landscape, Camille Corot
Literary Critical Theory is a tool that helps you find meaning in stories, poems and
plays. There are many different ways to interpret a novel or short story.
When we read literature, we do so to learn more about:
● The human condition
● The experience of loss and death
● The structure of power in society and how it is implemented (including the issues
that surround race and gender).
● The psychology of characters and individuals in general
● The sociology and history of cultures that produce specific pieces of literature
Literary Theory helps us discover the things listed above in the books and stories we
read. So how do you use theory to read a book? Before exploring, in brief, different
theories, it is important to develop a reading strategy that will help you form ideas.
You should keep a reading notebook and write down ideas and information as you
read. Here is a checklist of things to notice:
● Title. How does it pertain to the story? Does it symbolize events or people in the
story?
● Narration: Who is telling the story? How does the narrator approach the topic?
● Subject: What is the basic situation? What is happening to the characters and how
are they reacting to events?
● Mood: What is the mood of the story, i.e. the emotional background? How is it
expressed in the language and setting?
● Characters: What do the characters learn in the course of the story? What are their
failings and how do they overcome them, or not? What is the main character’s
desire? Is that desire ever fulfilled? How does the main character change?
● Character Interaction: How do the characters interact in the story? How do they
communicate with each other? How do they handle conflict?
● Plot: What are the main events in the plot that lead the character to new insights, or
to his or her failure?
When you read a book, you can highlight the passages that strike you as significant. You
can also write notes in the margin of the text to yourself, which is called “annotation.”
Example of an Annotated Book
Literary Criticism In Brief:
This handout provides information on four theories; however, keep in mind there are
many different kinds of theories, including gender/feminist criticism; race theory;

How Can A Literature Review Writing Be Introduced.pdf
1. How Can A Literature Review Writing Be
Introduced?
Writing a literature review can be difficult, but with the right approach, it can be a simple way
to improve your academic writing. Here are four suggestions for writing a concise and
effective literature review.
What is a Writing Survey?
A literature review, also known as an essay or critical piece of academic writing, examines
and evaluates one or more literary works. It can be used to introduce students to various
literary styles and provide an overview of a work's most important themes and ideas.
The text should be criticized in a literature review, along with its historical context and other
authors' interpretations. It is essential to keep in mind that a literature review is not a
summary or a piece of opinion; rather, it is an objective investigation of the strengths and
weaknesses of the text.
The following aspects should be taken into consideration when writing a
literature review:
1. The Most Important Parts of the Text 2. The Text's Organizational Structure 3 The Use of
Symbolism in the Text The Individuals in the Text 5. The Main Idea of the Text The way the
text is written The Importance of Reading the Text in Its Literary Context 8. How this work
has been interpreted by other authors How do you put together a literature review?
To write a literature review, you must first establish the study's objectives. You should give
the work an overview, talk about its good points and bad points, or praise it while criticizing
it. You can learn more about the work once you know what you want to find.
What Should a Literature Review Include?
While composing a writing survey, remembering the accompanying tips is fundamental:
To begin, provide an overview of the work's content and an introduction to it.
Discuss the ways in which the piece reflects or affects current cultural or political
movements.
2. Examine the piece in terms of its form and technique.
Identify any recurring motifs or themes.
Include a critical assessment of the work.

An Overview of the Work
It is essential to provide an overview of the work under consideration as well as current
cultural or political movements when introducing a literature review. One might talk about
how To Kill A Mockingbird looks at racism in America in the 1930s or how The Catcher in the
Rye shows how society was worried about bomb hysteria during World War II. It is
necessary to discuss how the work reflects or affects current cultural or political movements
after providing an overview of the work. For instance, one might examine To Kill A
Mockingbird for its depiction of courtroom drama and social injustices and The Catcher in the
Rye for its investigation of adolescent angst and moral issues.
Analyzing works for their form and technique is also essential. Plot structure, character
development, setting, etc., to learn more about what makes a particular poem or story
special. Last but not least, a body's recurring themes or motifs should be identified.
