Class Lab: Analysis

2. Analytical thinking is another way of saying rhetorical thinking. It’s breaking the writing down into parts to better understand the contents of what you read. By breaking down text and phrases we can then figure out where the author stands, author’s point of view, author’s tone and so on. Many stories may hide their meaning but upon deeper analysis we find greater meaning.


4. The “Stay Sweet As You  Are” analysis paper fits the criteria by including the ads that it’s analyzing, breaks down the information in chronological order, and finding the main points of each ad. At the end, all three advertisements are compared and found to have the same main point: “pleasing men is the prerequisite for [a woman’s] happiness.”

5. From what I gathered from the in class group. I gathered that most think that analytical thinking is in a way same as thinking rhetorically. By breaking down and analyzing tones, design, the point of view, etc. you can then figure out what the author is conveying.
