1. How to write a literary analysis
The SEE set is for argument or explanatory essays.
The WWH set is for analysis essays. This is VERY similar to the analytical statements you did in our Tim Burton unit.
“W” stands for WHAT. What LITERARY STRATEGY (simile, imagery, diction, metaphor, hyperbole, syntax, etc.) is the author using in this section/paragraph?
“W” stands for WHERE. Where is the strategy located in the section or paragraph? This is where you use a direct quote with citation that shows the strategy mentioned above (or your “word chunk” if you are discussing diction).
“H” stands for HOW. How does this strategy help to convey the author’s argument? Think about the strategy’s effect on the reader and how it helps the reader better understand the author’s message/theme of the piece as a whole.
