Analyze the impact of the authors choices, discussing how these decisions affect the storys meaning.
Organize your ideas so that each new idea builds on the one it follows to create a unified whole.
Take notes on its theme of war, characters, setting, plot, and so on. Be sure the notes include looking beyond the surface to the deeper meaning the author is trying to relay. Analysis also looks at why the meaning is important.
