It's Universally Applicable! The "How and Why"
method of analyzation works for a wide variety of
essays. It is designed to keep the paper simple
and focused. The outline is very structured in
order to keep a consistency between description
and explanation. Sometimes, even the best
students tend to stray from the subject they are
writing about. The focus of the paper is lost
because description and summary are reiterated.
The way this method works is very simple. First,
you as a writer must state your thesis and give
several solid reasons to back your statement.
Then, in subsequent paragraphs, you must explain
how the author accomplish what you propose and
then state why the author has chosen to do what
you say that he does. Let's take a look at an
example outline:
| I. |
Introduction
(State your thesis - what was the author
trying to accomplish) |
| |
A. |
How
(How did the author accomplish what he
set out to do - give specific references) |
| |
B. |
Why
(Why did the author wish to accomplish
this / why does your proof actually
prove) |
