Question

What are the two basic kinds of arguments in literature analysis?

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Interpretive and evaluative

Explanation:

A literature analysis is an academic text used to examine and explain a literary work, this often implies expressing the point of view of the author of the analysis and supporting this through evidence. Additionally, there are two main types of literature analysis, the first one is the interpretive, which explains the way the author understands the literary work, a piece of the literary work or one element on it; the second type is the evaluative analysis which provides a critique of the literary work. For example, in an interpretive analysis of the Odyssey (an epic poem), the author can explain the way she/he understood the importance of greek mythology in the text, while in an evaluative analysis the author can evaluate the use of symbols in the poem. According to this, the two basic kinds are interpretive and evaluative.
