To critique a piece of writing is to do the following:

describe: give the reader a sense of the writer’s overall purpose and intent
analyze: examine how the structure and language of the text convey its meaning
interpret: state the significance or importance of each part of the text
assess: make a judgment of the work’s worth or value
FORMATTING A CRITIQUE
Here are two structures for critiques, one for nonfiction and one for fiction/literature.

The Critique Format for Nonfiction
Introduction

name of author and work
general overview of subject and summary of author's argument
focusing (or thesis) sentence indicating how you will divide the whole work for discussion or the particular elements you will discuss
Body

objective description of a major point in the work
detailed analysis of how the work conveys an idea or concept
interpretation of the concept
repetition of description, analysis, interpretation if more than one major concept is covered
Conclusion

overall interpretation
relationship of particular interpretations to subject as a whole
critical assessment of the value, worth, or meaning of the work, both negative and positive
The Critique Format for Fiction/Literature
Introduction

name of author and work
brief summary/description of work as a whole
focusing sentence indicating what element you plan to examine
general indication of overall significance of work
Body

literal description of the first major element or portion of the work
detailed analysis
interpretation
literal description of second major element
detailed analysis
interpretation (including, if necessary, the relationship to the first major point)
and so on
Conclusion

overall interpretation of the elements studied
consideration of those elements within the context of the work as a whole
critical assessment of the value, worth, meaning, or significance of the work, both positive and negative
You may not be asked in every critique to assess a work, only to analyze and interpret it. If you are asked for a personal response, remember that your assessment should not be the expression of an unsupported personal opinion. Your interpretations and your conclusions must be based on evidence from the text and follow from the ideas you have dealt with in the paper.

Remember also that a critique may express a positive as well as a negative assessment. Don't confuse critique with criticize in the popular sense of the word, meaning “to point out faults.”

Look at the last stanza in “Icarus’s Flight.” What tone is conveyed here, and how does the poet achieve it?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

1. The tone being conveyed is a laudatory tone.

2. The poet achieved it by asking a rhetorical question and providing the answer.

Explanation:

1. The tone being conveyed in the last stanza of the poem was a laudatory one. This means that the poet was praising the boy Icarus for trying the boundaries of his intellect.

2. To achieve this, the poet asked a rhetorical question;

<em>Should it matter </em>

<em>that neither shepherd nor farmer with his plow </em>

<em>watched him fall? </em>

He answered the question by saying that 'he now had the answer'. So,  even though the boy eventually fell, he had explored the heights of his freedom and had satisfied his curiosity.

Why does Gavin think it is difficult being around Aurora’s family? Cite specific evidence from the text to support your answer.
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Because he can't fit in.

Explanation:

Gavin feels very different from Aurora's family, especially among the men in the family. He is unable to understand the traditions, rites of passage and customs that they have and that is why he feels lonely and isolated and isolated. The more he tries to entertain himself, he does not succeed because of the cultural difference between them. This makes him feel uncomfortable, around Aurora's family, although he doesn't dislike them.
