Essay 2- Analysis

An author who writes analysis essays explains a central idea through examples. Good examples are used to

clarify points while helping to build a connection with readers. In formulating analysis essays, a writer either

focuses on one specific example or uses several examples in explaining the central idea.

Genre/Medium: Analysis/ Typed essay

Purpose: The writer of an analysis essay uses examples to explain a point and/or topic to the reader. For this

assignment you will write an analysis essay that follows the five-paragraph essay format on one

of the essay topics listed below.

Format: Your five-paragraph essay must contain a concrete closed (parallel, three-point) thesis statement

at the end of the first paragraph and follow the MLA guidelines. This means that your essay

should make use of topic sentences and connectors for your body paragraphs. Such formatting is the

foundation of effective communication in writing in the classroom.

Audience: This essay will target a scholarly audience. Therefore, your language and style should meet the

intellectual needs of individuals who read on a collegiate level and pique their interests.

Stance/role: What attitude and information (about yourself as a student) will you convey through the analysis

essay? Think about what you want to communicate to the reader (i.e., the professor) and convey

your stance throughout your essay. Careful wording and sentences will communicate your stance as

a serious student, someone who pays attention to details. Sloppy writing will communicate that you

are a sloppy student or person.

Use of evidence and reasoned arguments will also communicate your effort on the assignment

similarly. Therefore you need to develop your writing using evidence from the film and lay out your

analysis in a reasoned manner.

Instructions: 1. Outline and Draft a five-paragraph essay on one of the prompts below.

2. Peer review the essay with your classmates (or take it to the SVWC for tutoring help or use the

Smarthinking resource on Blackboard)

3. Revise the draft to address their feedback.

5. Submit final draft and Revision Memo.

Directions:

1. Brainstorm and outline: Before choosing your topic you should consider what you want to write about. Once

you have chosen your topic, you should decide where you stand on the issue.

2. Writing: Present your argument in a way that convinces the reader that your analysis is a valid one. Remember,

this essay should have a specific, detailed, three-point thesis statement. It should use topic sentences to anchor

each paragraph and evidenced-based exposition to layout the point.

3. Reviewing and editing: You will draft an essay for peer review. To proceed with this process, you must

initially do a review in class using the peer review sheets provided and through the Smith Vidal Literacy and

Language Center.

4. Finishing up and writing a reflection memo: You will, finally, edit your essay based on the feedback provided

by your reviewers and write-up a memo recapping your understanding of the writing process (refer to the model.)

Prompts:

1. In the film, Lionheart, when Chief Ernest Obiagu falls ill, instead of allowing his daughter,

Adaeze, to manage the company, Chief Obiagu appoints his brother, Godswill, even though he

does not have the experience managing the company that Adaeze has. The excuse given is that

Adaeze is not ready, and Godswill is there to guide her into her leadership position.

Write an essay where you analyze whether Chief Obiagu’s decision was justified (or fair).

Provide evidence from the film to support your assertions.

2. One of the major messages of the film is family and how working together helps the people

become stronger because each can play to his or her strengths. In other words, the family is a sort

of a team and people have to work together (collaborate) to get the job done.

Write an essay where you analyze the film’s underlying message that collaboration is the

key to success. Provide evidence from the film to support your assertions.

3. The film Lionheart shows a perspective of Africa that some individuals in the West rarely see,

that of a regular modern country where people are trying to live regular lives and create

successful businesses. Put another way, the story negates the skewed and anachronistic view of

an African society, Nigeria, as a poor, “developmental basket-case” waiting for the outside world

to come and save it.

Write an essay where you analyze how the film provides a positive portrayal of an African

nation. Provide evidence from the film to support your assertions.
