Critical (Literary) Analysis Essay Definition: A critical analysis essay is a focused piece of writing that analyzes a literary work (or works, in this case). It should reflect critically (which is not the same thing as criticizing) on the text and make connections between the ideas, characters, or perspectives presented in the two texts. Structure: 1. Short introductory paragraph. Explain what your main point is and introduce the work you will be talking about. ▪ Thesis: The first or last sentence in your introduction. It should tell the reader what you main point (or argument) about the text is. This should be the controlling idea for the whole essay and should be very specific. 2. Two or three paragraphs of analysis. You may want to divide these by having a paragraph for each story OR by having a paragraph for similarities and a paragraph for differences. ▪ Use specific examples (quotations and paraphrases) to support your points. 3. Brief Conclusion that sums up what you’ve said in the essay. Guidelines for Writing a Critical Analysis Essay 1. To write an effective critical analysis, you must first be sure that you understand the question that has been posed, and all literary terms that you have been asked to address. Once you feel you understand the question, reread the piece of literature, making notes. Then look at the notes you’ve made, consider what connections you can make between observations, and reconsider the question. Try to formulate a rough thesis statement (your “claim”). Now try to select those pieces of evidence that you feel you can most convincingly use to support the claim you made. Next, try to formulate a good introduction, that • names the work discussed and the author. • is specific about the topic you will address • provides a thesis statement that answers the essay question posed and • indicates the way you plan to develop your argument (support your claim). 2. Analytical essays normally use the present tense. When talking about a text, write about it in the present tense. 3. Do not use slang or colloquial language (the language of informal speech). 4. Do not use contractions. 5. Create an original title, do not use the title of the text. 6. Analysis does not mean retelling the story. Many students fall into the trap of telling the reader what is happening in the text instead of analyzing it. Analysis aims to explain how the writer makes us see what he or she wants us to see, the effect of the writing techniques, the text’s themes and your personal response to these.

Explain whether or not you believe a manager could, or should, use the same types of channels to relay a message. Would it be effective?

For this assignment, you will research the different ways that managers and leaders use communication to guide their organizations.

Feel free to use the same organization you researched for the Unit VI Case Study. You are not limited to this organization, but it may be easier to complete the assignment since you have already researched the organization in Unit VI. You can use the same sources for both assignments, if applicable.

Find an instance where the organizational leader communicates directly with his or her employees, investors, or customers. Analyze the message, the channel, and the potential for feedback. Do you believe that it is effective? Do you believe that it is the same type of message that a manager would send? Why, or why not?

Remember to focus on the communication styles of both leaders and managers. Strive for an equal balance between the two types of communication styles in your assignment.

Example: The Apple events that occur in Cupertino whenever Apple unveils a new product or service are examples of the type of communication you should be analyzing in this assignment. During the events, CEO Tim Cook addresses an audience of employees, investors, and the general public. Cook uses multiple channels to communicate with the audience, including a live face-to-face discussion, live streaming of the discussion, and a recorded video. For the assignment, you would view one of the events, analyze Cook’s message and the effectiveness of the channels, and discuss the potential for feedback. Analyze whether or not the message is an effective example of leadership. Explain whether or not you believe a manager could, or should, use the same types of channels to relay a message. Would it be effective?
