"The number of pages in the finished essay usually does not exceed 3-4 pages, so the main part is the most important element of the work. It reflects the personal opinion of the author to the problem under discussion."
The structure of the main part consists of theses and arguments. First, the author of the essay offers the reader a thesis, that is, a briefly formulated definite thought. Then comes the argument. He can prove that the given thought is true, if the author agrees with the thesis, or that the thought is erroneous, in the case of the author’s objection. Arguments should concisely demonstrate how the author came to this or that judgment, they can be based on personal experience, on the experience of other people, on historical events and facts. If you wish, you can add an intermediate conclusion after each pair of “thesis - arguments” to make it easier for the reader to trace the chain of your thoughts.
Example:
Thesis - the computer has replaced the book. Arguments - I agree with these words, because in my home library only a few books, and with the help of the Internet I find almost any book at any time. Now there is no need to go to the library to take an old torn book or spend a lot of money to buy a new one. In specialized stores, prices for books are too high, and on the Internet in most cases you can download a book for free. So books became more accessible.
Intermediate conclusion: technical progress makes people's lives easier.
Thesis - scientific progress should not be ahead of the cultural and moral development of man. Argument - this is an example from life, confirming this thought. Once, residents of developed countries decided to help an African tribe living near the equator. Young Africans were trained to grow rice, gave them tractors and sowing tools. After a year, the benefactors returned to see how life had changed for the tribe who had gained knowledge and technique. They were disappointed when they found out that the Africans still live according to old customs: they sold the equipment to farmers, and with the money they received was a holiday for the coins they received.
Intermediate conclusion: a person needs to grow to the realization of his needs, it is impossible to change a person against his will.
Alternate theses and arguments in the main part can be an unlimited number of times - as many as the author will need to substantiate the reader’s point of view.
In the main part, you can use the following cliches:
Firstly Secondly Thirdly; eg; I agree with the writer; unfortunately, I do not quite agree with the point of view of the author; We illustrate this judgment with an example; on the one hand on the other hand.
After familiarizing the reader with the main part, he should have his own opinion on the problem in question, he must either accept or reject the point of view of the author.
Writing an analytical essay
Under the analysis refers to a similar method of study, which allows you to explore certain parts of an object. As a rule, a specific difficulty is tested in analytical essays, that is, a discussion of the difficulty itself and the identification of patterns in it. As an object of analysis, it has the opportunity to make a familiar or practically unexplored scientific appearance, a scientific or artistic work, a historical event, a social problem or something else.
Choosing a topic and object of study
The table of contents of an analytical essay will largely depend on the one that is actually chosen as the object for analysis. Thus, when considering a scientific work (dissertation, research paper, scientific article), an essay has the opportunity to be confined to the study of the reliability of the study, its potential, or the analysis of the findings acquired in it. When considering a work of art, there is every chance of being analyzed by the artistic methods of the creator or the difficulties raised in the book. For this reason, it is quite fundamentally literally to determine the subject and object of study.
If the teacher gave you a very immense topic or gave you the chance to choose the topic of the essay yourself, we advise you to choose on one small question that you can see on several pages.
Work with literature
The analytical essay is very brief, in order to give a large number of quotations and refer to various authors, as is done in abstracts and similar works. And yet, it must necessarily contain references to sources. If this is a test of scientific work, then it is possible to refer to influential scientists and their works. In the case of an analytical essay on a book or a movie, these sources have every chance to make influential publications, writers, film critics, etc. At the given turn, it is necessary for you to learn how not only the object of analysis itself goes in the footsteps, but also what is actually talking about it. With quotes, your essay will become more absolute and detailed, in fact, that every time it functions better for the reader.
When you compile an analytical essay, do not forget, in fact that even in great works like a thesis, giant quotes are not welcome. As a result, find short and capacious expressions and carefully rewrite them even before you start writing an essay. Also remember about the fact that you need to write out the details of any book or notes that you refer to in the essay.
The general structure of the analytical essay plan is as follows:
introductory part;
main part:
thesis, analysis, argument;
thesis, analysis, argument;
thesis, analysis, argument;
final part.
Fill in this framework with certain data, writing in the introductory part the leading statement of your work (thesis), which you will argue. Also write down theses and arguments for the lead. Now, it only remains for you to paint in detail any pair of thesis argument, study it and add some enticing details (statistics, situation, outline supervision, etc.).
