Two Very Different Things

Book reports and literary analysis essays are two very different things. Book reports summarize the story, and describes the characters, while literary analysis essays are your argument about the story's meaning or purpose. In book reports, facts are stated. In literary analysis essays, your opinions and how you see the story is given. Personally, I prefer writing a literary analysis essay. For the past five years, I.E.W (Institute for Excellence in Writing) has been implanted into my education. Therefore, that style of writing comes more naturally.
