The literature review section will be an overview of the critical points of the topic including any significant literature published on the topic. It must feature a description, summary, and evaluation of each significant work.

The paper will include an overview of the subject, followed by reviews of the works with explanations of where each work falls within the topic (e.g. those in support of a particular position, those against and those offering alternative theses entirely), along with a conclusion; which should include which works are most significant and why.

The analytical section will go more in-depth than the Lit Review. It will examine an issue within the subject and present an argument on it. The issue must be broken down into parts, with each part detailed and examined. A thesis statement must be found within the first few paragraphs. The thesis must be debatable and clearly presented in both the opening and concluding sections. The argument must be clear and logically with points building directly from the thesis. Counter-arguments must be addressed, broken down, and shown how they can be found invalid due to the position that the paper has taken. Each point must be supported by strong examples. The paper will demonstrate the writers solid understanding of the topic covered.

To keep the professional style of the analytical paper avoid “I statements” and instead use “This paper argues….” statements.
