In this essay you will analyze a music video run by Joji (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v＝K09_5IsgGe8)by forming an overall interpretation and then supporting it through textual evidence (examples and quotes). Literary analysis strives to examine a work on a deeper, more meaningful level. This essay requires critical thinking and analysis. While your interpretation is subjective, your opinion is centered on theme, meaning, or technique rather than taste (it doesn’t matter if you like or dislike the work, and you are not trying to “improve” it). Minimum length is 3 1/2 to 5 pages, typed, double spaced. DO NOT use outside sources for this essay. STRATEGIES TO GET STARTED —Read the source material more than once. Look for patterns, repetition, important word choices, or potential symbols. Make lists to help you discover possible similarities or differences in the characters, events, dialogue, etc. —Analyze the title. It is often a major clue to the message or meaning of the work. —Your introduction must contain at least some reference to the author of the work and the title. You may include a brief summary of the plot, followed by your thesis/interpretation. —Three part paragraph structure helps you organize almost any type of essay. Try to separate your points into different paragraphs to fully develop your ideas rather than discussing multiple points in the same paragraph. TOPIC SENTENCE: The first sentence of your paragraph introduces the point. EVIDENCE/EXAMPLE/QUOTE: The next few sentences should provide support for the point. Do not simply drop in examples or quotes–you need to set up your evidence with a transition and blend quotes into actual sentences. ANALYSIS/OPINION: After your example or quote, you will need to explain the significance of this evidence to your overall thesis. This part of the paragraph should be the most developed, since it explains the relevance of the example to the overall interpretation.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v＝K09_5IsgGe8
