The purpose of citing textual evidence in a literary analysis essay is to...

to support the argument made in the thesis statement.

It's always good to cite textual evidence, especially in a literary analysis essay because it supports the argument. To give a proper and valid argument you need evidence to back it up what you want to say. Otherwise, your argument can, possibly, not be taken seriously by readers.

The purpose of citing textual evidence in a literary analysis essay is to let the readers know that the particular text is cited from a different source and see the end part of the paper for the full source of citation and ideas that you applied in your essay.

Read the paragraph. Theodore Roosevelt was the greatest president because as a leader of the Progressive Party, he brought about
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Order of ideas, tone, and punctuation and phrasing could be revised.

Explanation:

It is known that when giving a presentation or writing an essay, the speaker should convince the public little by little, providing evidence that will support the final hypothesis, in this case, how great Roosevelt was. Due to this, the beginning would be: "Theodore Roosevelt was a great president because..."

Punctuation and phrasing are other issues in the paragraph. Some sentences are too long and carry a lot of information that could be overwhelming for the reader (specially for such a short paragraph.) In example, the phrase "he brought about much-needed social, political, and economic reform" could be written again: "his impact could be seen in almost every aspect of the country, such as in politics, economics, and in society in general."

The first statement could be at the end, like "an equal share of opportunities. Due to this, Roosevelt is the greatest president."

Tone is also important because it seems to be part of an essay or a presentation, so words like "broke up" could be changed for more proper ones.
