ENG 120 Cuymaca College How to Do Literary Analysis Portfolio Essay
Question Description
Since we have a new essay we are working on for our class, I wanted to provide you with some materials. I have broken down the materials into the three options you have to write on from the prompt.
Step One: Review the Materials
If you are writing Theme Analysis, review the following:
“How To Find a Theme” | D4Darious
“How to Do Literary Analysis (It’s Easy)” | English Nerd
If you are writing Rhetorical Analysis, review the following:
This PowerPoint includes examples from Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

If you are writing Comparative Analysis, review the following:
Lecture: How to Organize and Structure a Comparative Analysis Essay
Because the structure of Comparative Analysis is very specific, I have provided a few resources here to walk us through the steps of how to construct the structure of our compare/contrast essays.
In the following video, Lisa uses a few terms though that I want to make sure we have an understanding of. She breaks down three different styles of compare and contrast while I mainly outline two. For our purposes when she uses the familiar term block, it matches our block term. When she uses the term alternating and integrated, we can understand these terms to mean the same as point-by-point. These are both versions of the point-by-point structure for comparative analysis.

The next video breaks down more philosophically the why about how you set up comparative analysis the way you do, so consider the following when you are deciding how to set up your essay.
