Analytical Essay Examples
The Analytical essay's topic was focused on the Governments' infringement on electronic/Internet
privacy, and why it was important for citizens of the United States to protect their rights to privacy.
I chose to revise this essay, because I am very interested in the subject of cyber security. My proposal
essay argued how high school students should be required to take Physical Education classes
throughout all four years of high school. I revised this essay, because it was a topic that I personally
related to as a high school student.
My analytical essay needed better placement of its supporting evidence, so that the content didn't
accidently confuse the reader. This was carried out by simply using my supporting evidence as

For example; properly placing paragraphs in a way that makes the transitions smoother when
describing the content. Additionally, they showed how I learned to provide as much background as
possible to the main ideas within essays, to help the reader understand exactly what I am trying to

Getting my rough drafts corrected by Professor Mays helped me to recognize huge flaws in my
writing technique, and improve by trial and error. Another common practice in English 101 that
helped improve my writing ability was workshops, because they provided me with student feedback
on how my essays could be strengthened. Similarly, the students within English 102 class provided
feedback and ideas that I could apply to my papers, which helped me extensively develop my essays.
English 101 changed my approach to the process of drafting and revising in many ways. To be
more specific, they prompted me to include as much detail and background into the main ideas of
my paragraphs as possible. Additionally, I now create outlines before composing a draft of my
essay, so that I can organize my thoughts before writing the material. The course conveyed the
importance of taking advantage of your rough drafts, because it allows you to fix your errors and

Art Analysis Essay
Though most works of art have some underlying, deeper meaning attached to them, our first
impression of their significance comes through our initial visual interpretation. When we first view a
painting or a statue or other piece of art, we notice first the visual details – its size, its medium, its
color, and its condition, for example – before we begin to ponder its greater significance. Indeed,
these visual clues are just as important as any other interpretation or meaning of a work, for they
allow us to understand just what that deeper meaning is. The expression on a statue's face tells us
the emotion and message that the artist is trying to convey. Its color, too, can provide clues: darker
or lighter colors can play a role in how we...show more content...
The Stele depicts a simple scene: a seated man and standing woman behind him stare blankly
straight ahead. A woman standing on the left looks down upon them. All of them are ordinary
humans. They are not gods or goddesses. They are private people. Their clothing is plain,
consisting of simple robes. It is representational of a regular family mourning the loss of one of its
members, a scene that most people, even today, are able to relate to hundreds or even thousands of
years later.
The stele conveys a solemn forlornness that can be seen in the figures' faces. Their mouths are
tightly shut; their eyes gaze blankly ahead. The woman on the left stares ahead with little emotion
on her face. The stele does not depict any motion. All of the figures are standing (or sitting) still, in
quiet memorial. This solemnity adds to the emotion of a grave where the stele once stood. There is
no real clear answer as to who is being mourned. Are the seated man and the woman mourning the
loss of their daughter, on the left? Or is the woman on the left mourning the loss of a father? The
sculpture's ambiguity also adds to the emotion that it evokes. It might even be appropriate for its
purpose. Its function was to mark a gravesite – the site of the body of someone who has died. Death
is one of the most complex parts of life. It is the most ambiguous, for nobody knows for sure what
happens in death. The ambiguity of the stele highlights

Essay on Self-Analysis
Self–Analysis
Before taking this course my writing styles and habits were very different. I was the typical
procrastinator because I would wait until the night before a paper was due to start it. This did not
allow me enough time to properly proofread everything, which resulted in getting points deducted for
simple grammatical errors that could have been avoided if I would have had the time to proofread.
My writing styles have many strengths and weaknesses and I have been able to improve my writing
because of them. I have learned from my strengths and weaknesses how to become a better writer.
In my writing, I have many strengths, some that which I have developed through this course and
some that I already had. Before this...show more content...
I can write a thesis that will give an overview about what main topic of the paper is and what other
elements will be addressed in the paper. From taking this course I have been able to improve
many of my weaknesses, but there are still some that I need to work on. Overall I am becoming
better at not procrastinating as much as I used to. This class has helped me to learn to take the
little steps along the way because then there will not be as much work to do towards the end.
This has also made me realize that the final product of my writing will turn out better because it
will have had more time to develop, which means that there would have been more opportunities
to proofread. I think by learning many styles of writing, such as paraphrasing, summarizing,
analyzing, and researching; it has enabled me to be able to write more broadly. By knowing how
to correctly use all of these kinds of writing styles, it will help me in the future for other classes
because I will have the knowledge that I need to write these types of papers. I still procrastinate
sometimes, but not as much as I used to. I will be able to improve on this as time goes along
because I will become more motivated by seeing the end result, which usually would be better
grades.
Overall I think that my most of my writing habits have improved and for the ones that have not I
know what they are and what I need to do to improve them. My strengths that I already had as

Self Analysis Examples
In an attempt to find self–validation and because of the need to understand my own existence, I
made a deep analysis of my ancestral roots, beliefs, and customs. One predominant feature kept
showing up in all aspects of my life. For the first time, I had a deep awareness of the intrinsic
manner in which satire is deeply rooted in my belief system. Every part of my life has been touched
by it, and the realization has enabled me to question my beliefs rather than to take them at face value.
I grew up under normal circumstances: a typical family and a typical American life style. As I
began the process of self–analysis, I discovered the hypocrisy in which I was raised. Some of these
revelations gave way to good laughs, while others led to pure...show more content...
I saw babies in glass jars that had been preserved for babies born of nuns, often the personal whores
of priests. The Catholic doctrine requires all priests to adhere to strict celibacy rules, yet the proof of
their sexual encounters with nuns, servants of the Church, proved the hypocrisy of that body's
"heads." When I attended the church there, I recalled the urgency these men gave to the fact that
men and women should be celibate until marriage – that God hated a fornicator, and that married
persons must practice monogamy. The utter hypocrisy of these men was on display in these glass
jars before me. I felt sickened to my core. As we continued our tour, we came across some devices
I had never seen before: the Judas's Cradle, the Wheel, the Breast Ripper, the Heretics Fork. These
were torture devices used during the inquisition by the Church to make heretics denounce their
hate for Satan and give names of other people who did not believe in a once orthodox view of
Catholic dogma, itself as far from the teachings of the early church as the east is from the west.
These devices represented the evil that man can do and the disrespect to the belief system they were
killing for. In

Journal Article Analysis Essay example
Journal Article Analysis tgkoontz University of Phoenix
Abstract
A Week 3 assignment in the class, PHL/717 Constructing Meaning, required a philosophical analysis
of an article in the Journal of Psychology. The article investigated how the connection between
knowledge and learning influenced individuals to think about controversial everyday issues. The
analysis included identifying philosophical assumptions, explaining practical significance and
applicability, and relating assumptions and methodology to class readings.
Journal Article Analysis An article in the Journal of Psychology investigated how the connection
between knowledge and learning influenced individuals to think about controversial everyday issues.

The scientific community has debated the methodology of the attainment of knowledge since
Aristotle. Social science, such as the study analyzed here, wants to develop a more engaged
relationship between knowledge and practice (Delanty & Strydom, 2003). Conceiving their study on
previous research done about the nature of knowledge and the nature of learning that influences
thinking, Schommer–Aikins and Hutter (2002) introduced an additional element of contemporary
controversial issues encountered in everyday life. Their research looked to populations outside of
academia to support their hypotheses. Generally, they were able to prove a relationship exists
between individual beliefs about knowledge and learning and the ability to demonstrate higher order
thinking. Education and critical thinking influence these beliefs (p. 16). The nature of knowledge
and learning beliefs influence thinking in everyday life.
Methodology
Kuhn (1996) describes a paradigm as the accepted norm of a science. The standards, rules, and
scientific tradition one follows in a particular area of scientific study comprise the paradigm.
Research, such as the one described here, "is a cumulative enterprise, eminently successful in its
aim, the steady extension of the scope and precision of scientific knowledge" (p. 52). The study

Examples Of Thematic Analysis
In this research, thematic analysis s used to analyze the interpretive ethnographic data, which,
according to Braun and Clarke (2006,p,79) is:'a method for identifying, analyzing and reporting
patterns within data.' Thus, thematic analysis uncovers themes in a text and constructs a web–like
network to facilitate the structuring and interpretation of there themes. Braun and Clarke (ibid.)
explained, the thematic data analysis process consists of six phases: (i) become familiar with the
data; (ii) generating initial codes; (iii) searching for themes; (iv) reviewing themes; (v) defining and
naming themes; and (vi) producing the report. The reason for using thematic analysis first,is based
upon Braun and Clarke (2006) it is a useful research tool,...show more content...
According to M Finn, Elliott–White, M Walton (2000, 67–90). 'The word 'ethnography' means a
description of people or their culture'Ethnography is the study of social interactions, behaviors, and
perceptions that occur within groups, teams, organizations, and communities. Taft (1988, p. 59 )
explains, ethnographic research consists essentially of a description of events that occur within the
life of a group, with special regard to social structures and the behavior of the individuals with respect
to their group membership, and an interpretation of the meaning of these for the culture of the group.
Ethnography is associated with the different ways of observing perceiving and understanding the
process in worldly manner.Selecting and applying rules for the 'world view'in order to defining and
giving meaning to situations in which they find themselves for justifying their actions.This
ethnography is used both to record primary data and to interpret its meaning. (1988:59) Goetz and Le

Her initiatives for CVS is to enhance compensation practices, restructure human resources processing
functions, and successfully managing all human resources support for the retail businesses. The type
of information needed to make solid informed decisions about human resources for CVS is many.

they have to follow federal guidelines for pharmaceuticals, legal requirements for their nurses,
doctors and pharmacist. In addition CVS is expanding into global markets, and that opens them up to
foreign legal requirements. Socially, CVS Caremark has a long–standing track record of sound

Textual Analysis Essay example
Overview:
The text, Writing on Demand: Best Practices and Strategies for Success is designed specifically
for teachers by teachers. With a quote on the cover of the text that is highlighted by a bright orange
background and explicitly states that this book is "Ideal for SAT, ACT, AP, and State Assessment
Exams", the text quickly announces that its core audience is going to be teachers within the middle
school to high school range. Given the aim of this text, it proves to be a highly beneficial work for
aiding teachers in understanding how to adequately prepare their students for the rigors of writing on
demand, be it for regular classroom assignments or standardized tests. After a thorough analysis of
the text I found many of...show more content...
Context for Usage: The grade levels this text is designed to prepare educators for teaching is
evidenced first in its overall discussion of properly preparing students to be able to write on demand
for state assessment tests. Given that such tests do not regularly take place until students are out of
elementary education it is apparent that this text is directed towards teachers working with a
higher age bracket. This is also further revealed in instances where teachers are directed to help
students think backwards, a skill that is not highly promoted in elementary education as most
children at this age level have not yet developed the capacity to think backwards. The process
described for enabling students to analyze prompts is also one that would be dominantly used
beyond the beginning years of education. Considering each of these factors, the aim of this text is
to be utilized by teachers working with a middle school to high school age bracket.
Learning Objectives: Learning objectives promoted in the college level class on teaching writing that
this text was handed out in, strongly emphasize the importance of group work, as revealed in the
writing theory handout and the scholarly overview handout (see attached).

Example Of A Qualitative Analysis Paper
The cultural turn in sociology, methodologically, has provided new ways of utilizing qualitative
analysis to show how views and practices are indicators of the ways that personal worldviews are
shaped by social structures. Qualitative interviewing, especially using vignettes, hypothetical
scenarios, memory probes, and comparisons, allow the interviewer to measure the respondent's
understanding of the world as it is refracted through life experiences, values, beliefs, and attitudes.
For example, Swidler (2001) used in–depth interviews to show how people draw from different
cultural understandings of "love" in response to different situations. Similarly, Lamont (1992)

concurrently. An excellent example of this is your examination of syntax in the second paragraph.
Here is my suggested rubric grading: Introduction – Above Average (8) Your introduction closely

your thesis statement could be more specific to the rhetorical appeals employed by Wiesel (syntax,

This essay introduces interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), a qualitative research
approach, which has recently gained popularity in health sciences (Smith, Flowers, & Larkin,

example of forming a question in IPA research, and will be followed by introducing phenomenology

Descriptive (transcendental) phenomenology is a way of meaning–making by studying the
phenomenon as it figures in consciousness (Giorgi, 1997). Husserl thought that meaning–making is
like a process where the consciousness starts to develop individual's reality (Smith et al., 2009). In
order to observe and describe individualВ ґs life world without advertently adding researcherВ ґs
theories to findings, known facts and researcherВ ґs own views must be bracketed (Giorgi, 1997;
Koch 1995). Bracketing leads the researcher away from distractions and allows to concentrate on
observed phenomenon (Koch, 1995; Smith et al., 2009). However, it is argued whether it is possible
to describe something without adding your own thoughts and interpretation (Pringle, Drummond,
McLafferty, & Hendry, 2011). In reality, it is difficult to study and observe something without

Analytical Essay
Trips to the wild are experiences that fathers and sons have always shared. In the wild they will not
only get closer to nature; they will get closer to each other. Furthermore, these trips are a possibility
for fathers to pass knowledge to their sons.
In Mark Slouka's short story "Crossing" from 2009 a father takes his son on such a trip. But nature is
not an opponent that should be underestimated, and the family gets to experience just how brutal
nature can really be, when you do not watch your every step.
The main character in the short story is a father. The reader has access to his thoughts and emotions
and through these he is portrayed.
It is obvious to the reader that the father cares a lot for his son, which makes him seem...show more

(ll.38–39) The story contains a personification of the river. It [the river] wanted him gone (l.143).
This makes the reader think of it as a monster and the whole experience seems to be a nightmare.
The old, rotten barn seems rather gloomy. It is described as a rib cage (l.72) and a skeleton (l.75),
which adds further to the sense in a comparison with a nightmare.
In contrast to these places are the otherwise beautiful surroundings. They are what the father wanted
to share with his son.
The menacing, empty, uncertain mood in the short story is set by the weather and the surroundings.
Rain, mist and empty roads help build up suspense in the story, and the reader can sense that
something bad is going to happen.
At the end of the story, when the father throws caution to the wind with the result that he and his
son get trapped in the river, the reader is left with a question: Will they make it past the river? Due
to the open ending, the reader will have to find the answer to this question by himself through an
interpretation of the story. The father is stuck between two phases in his life and drags his son into
his horrible situation. Because of this, the father feels remorse. He thinks that he has betrayed his
son by bringing him in this situation: A situation that seems even more hopeless because of the
father's desperation and the fact that he thinks of the tale about the medieval priest. This tale could

The Analytical And Intuitive Thinking
Introduction
There are several different types of thinking. There is analytical, intuitive, creative, logic and
rhetoric, all which are different tools in our own minds thinking tool box. They are not opposites,
but used in different situations or a combination is used together to reach the best solution to a
problem or situation. In this blog the focus will be on the analytical and intuitive thinking, but the
others will also be of use. Analytical and initiative thinking are not best used separately but are a
dynamic duo when it comes to thinking. I have selected a data set that pertains to math scores in the
New York City School Districts, in particular grades third through eighth and how the genders match
up against one another. Analytical thinking is focused on data and facts to help us reason through
information, thus we will be looking at the trends at each level over the course of six years,
2006–2011, but intuition and logic will help us connect the missing pieces as to what the data is
stating and why that is the case.

Examples Of Semiotic Analysis
1. Introduction and Background In this essay I will evaluate the various components used to
construct meaning in Figure 1 by means of a semiotic analysis. I will discuss the theory of certain
semiotic concepts and apply them to Figure 1 throughout the text. The image in Figure 1 delivers a
visual message and it is supported by illustrated text, three captions, and two logos. The knowledge
necessary to interpret the illustration is knowledge of writing and English (Barthes 1977: 153). This
analysis is applicable to an adult audience familiar with 'food'– and 'diet' ideologies, as well as
concepts of celebrity endorsement. 1.1 Context and Representation of Figure 1 The People for the

The consumption of meat becomes a moral issue. If consuming meat is considered to be immoral,
then a vegetarian diet is the morally acceptable option. This logo challenges the morals of the
viewer and is used to illicit a guilty response (Bailey 2007: 44, 50). Connotatively6 this sign can
imply that, unlike animals, the reader does not have a 'heart' until he/she embraces a vegetarian diet.
This connotation contradicts the primary phrase in Figure 1; "All animals have the same parts".
Another connotation deliberately used by PETA, is the image of the blue silhouetted cow; its shape
is popularly associated with dairy and beef products within the consumer market. Through this the
reader immediately associates the symbol with food products and

Example Of A Critical Analysis Essay
In the process of writing my Critical Research Essay the writing piece consisted of three pieces of
evidence. One of the readings/evidence that I used throughout my essay and which spoke to me the
most was Robert Smith, Mexican New York: Transitional Lives of New Immigrants. Throughout my
high school years, there was not enough information on the history of Mexicans living in the United
States and their position in this country. Although this essay was not opinionated based, this reading
was able to inform me on new information that I never learned in my previous years in school. It
was a reading that not only have I used as part of an essay, but a book that I consider to read for my
own use and recommend it to other kids that stand in the same position as me and with the ideas

Throughout my critical analysis essay there was an objective tone instead of a subjective tone.
This tone helped me write a critical essay in which I included factual evidence and textual analysis
towards segmented assimilation which has had a great impact on the lives of young kids who have
parents that have a different culture than where they now live in. Instead of including emotions and
my own opinion on the situation, I used historical resources, via the web or journals, such as social
studies. I also had to include a counterclaim in order to argue anything that can prove my view
wrong. This also helped me see whether the evidence I provided was good enough to support my
thesis and let everyone see my reasoning for arguing the position I choose. Another important task I
had to keep in mind was to make sure I would not quote the authors to much, I wanted to use their
ideas to support my thesis, rather than just agreeing on the position they were stating throughout

Analytical Essay
Discourses have powerful social effects and can empower some, while marginalizing others. In
the texts Lost Property and Muriel's Wedding the dominant discourse is relationship. The
audience is positioned to see Josh Tambling from Lost Property as having tough relationships as
he is the one who is expected to pull through. While Muriel Heslop from Muriel's Wedding is
portrayed as unreliable and selfish as the story is told. In the early stages of both texts it is obvious
that Josh and Muriel have different relationships, as Josh is respected and dependable while Muriel
is rejected and a failure. Josh is trustworthy towards his friends which make him respected in his
relationships. For instance, he shows his loyal and respectable values...show more content...
Michael, Josh's older brother finally comes home, not by himself though, he ends up bringing his
girlfriend and with them their new born son. "Mum and Dad, this is Kelly," Michael says proudly,
"and this one here...is your grandson, Stuart." (p266). On the other hand, Muriel's Wedding ends
unfortunately with Muriel's mother dying as she commits suicide from the pressure of her
depression. But not all is bad for Muriel as she returns to Sydney with her friend Rhonda, after she
is in a wheelchair from not recovering from her cancer. Although both texts end in a different way,
the audience is still positioned to see Josh and Muriel as people who have difficult relationships but
in the end rewarding. In conclusion, both Lost Property and Muriel's Wedding mobilize the
discourse of relationships. The reader is positioned to see Josh and Muriel as being pleasing people,
who would do everything for their friendships. Throughout both texts Josh and Muriel are
constructed as characters who display loyalty and respect towards their friends, supporting them
