MAJOR ASSIGNMENT #2: VISUAL TEXT ANALYSIS

Textual analysis “closely examines a text both for what it says and how it does so…” (NFG, p. 94). In this assignment, you will select a text, analyze its content and how the writer conveys it and use evidence from the text to support your analysis. “Your goal is to understand what it says, how it works and what it means” (NFG, p.112),

    • Sufficient supporting evidence (details) from the text
    • Analysis / evaluation of the text’s style, tone, structure, etc. and how they support your thesis
