what important details are found in the first paragraph of the critique
Answers
Answer:
Purpose: The purpose is to summarize an article, series of articles, or book(s) and to offer a critique.
Introduction: The introduction familiarizes the audience with the contents of your article(s) or book.
Include the name of the article(s) or book(s), the authors of those works, the publication date(s) and a
thesis. Your thesis states the main point of your essay, or the critique of the work.
Body paragraphs: The two main parts of this essay are the summary and critique sections.
Summary: The first body paragraph is the summary of the article(s) or book(s).
The summary states the overall scope of the work you are studying, or the author’s purpose and the main
points of the work. Use your own words to summarize rather than the author’s exact words. Do not offer
any opinions in this section.
Explanation:
Critique: The next paragraph or two are a part of the critique section. The critique section is longer than
the summary.
The critique section is an analysis of a few different components. Examples include the credentials of the
author, the logic of his/her argument, the author’s assumptions, the methods used to reason, the style or
tone of the work, the currency of the argument, and the successfulness of the author in proving his/her
point.
