The purpose of a literary analysis essay should be to evaluate and analyze how the author portrays his message to the audience. In addition to answering "what" the author's message is, you also need to answer "how" the author does it. Some examples include imagery, similes, metaphors, the word choice, etc.
Answer:
Compare and contrast the two statements and identify the text structure for each statement:
Statement 1: The sandy loam and Mediterranean climate are perfect for the cultivation of almonds, but that's where any comparisons to picturesque orchards of Spain or Italy end. Here, there are no verdant weeds, wild flowers or grass verges to please the eye, just never-ending trees that form what looks like an outdoor production line for the bees.
Without this army of migrant pollinators paying a visit for three weeks every year, the trees would fail to bear the almonds that are California's most valuable horticultural export
Statement 2: Haagen-Dazs, which is owned by General Mills, said bees are actually responsible for 40% of its 60 flavors - such as strawberry, toasted pecan and banana split.
"These are among consumers' favorite flavors," said Katty Pien, brand director with Haagen-Dazs.
"We use 100% all natural ingredients like strawberries, raspberries and almonds which we get from California. The bee problem could badly hurt supply from the Pacific Northwest," Pien said
