Everything is changing!

     At first glance, you may think that a literary analysis is the same as a book report.  But in reality a book report is just a summery of a book while a literary analysis is a dissection of the book and usually is answering a prompt.  Whenever I wrote a book report it took me all of five minutes, I would sit down and just think "What happened in this book?" but I don't think that will pass with a literary analysis.  A literary analysis seems to need to be pre-meditated and take lots of hard work from writing the outline to finishing the introduction ( because you write that last ).  Which one do I prefer? Well its hard to say, I've never done a literary analysis but from what I can tell its much harder to do a literary analysis than a book report.  So I'll have to go with a book report ( for now ).

  1. I definitely agree with you that a book report takes much less time to write than a literary analysis. Good job.
