Literary Analyses

The literary analyses assignment was more of a challenge than I assumed. I am definitely one who likes to talk and get her point across. So staying in the 175-200 word count got to be a little frustrating. I had to take out so many words and good points to sum up the reading, "The Empire of Images In Our World of Bodies" . The text was interesting and I understand its purpose. I hope mothers and young ladies and/ or girls will get a chance to read the article and utilize the message it is sending.
When I wrote my analyses on "The Empire of Images In Our World of Bodies", I had so much to say with so little words. Yet, I stuck to the guildlines written in the Norton Field Guide to Writing. On page 141, the book refers to writing a brief rhetorical analyses by identifying the purpose, the audience, the stance, and the design of the reading. The reading, " The Empire of Images In Our World of Bodies", was written in primarily for women, mothers, and young girls to disregard what they view on television if it will cause them negative views of themselves. The audience was the mothers and the text was very interesting to read so I tried to match my analyses.

Did you do a literary analysis or a summary? The assignment was for a summary, not an analysis. You're right; 200 words for such an article is not remotely enough space for a thorough analysis. It is enough space for a summary, though...
