A literary analysis essay is a secondary source. It includes information from and about a primary source and offers a new way of looking at the text.

When writing a literary analysis essay, include a summary and background information of the story in the introduction. Remember to keep this information brief, only a sentence or two.

The evidence you use in a literary analysis essay supports your argument.

Three body paragraphs follow the introduction. They should contain evidence that supports your thesis statement. You can either quote directly from the literary text or summarize the information. When you include a quote or summary, follow up with an analysis of how it supports your claim.

The conclusion is the closing of your essay. This paragraph should restate the thesis statement.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
