Textual analysis redux

TEXT


What is it?  (what kind of text? how precise can you be?)

What does it do? (what's the big idea?)

How does it do what it does?   (what are the golden nuggets?)

  • Rhetoric
  • Imagery and other literary devices
  • Diction and syntax
  • tone and mood


Why does it do what it does?   persuade? inform? entertain?

Who is the audience?           How is this indicated?
