IB English A Lit Topic What Even Is Analysis? Revision Notes (SL/HL) | RevisionDojo

Analysis is Not Fake

I know what you're thinking, sometimes analysis feels fake.
So what's the point?
The best answer I can give you is that analysis is really about seeing through things.

If you can’t analyse, you’re at the mercy of people who can.

Because Language is Never Neutral

Every text you read tries to shape how you see the world.
Think about:
1. An advert that says “New look. Same great taste.”
2. A politician who says “We're protecting families” instead of “cutting immigration.”
3. A breakup text that says “I just need time to work on myself.”
All of these are carefully worded to make you feel something specific.
Language has the power to make lies sound reasonable and strong emotions sound weak.
And most of the time, people don’t even notice it happening.

Purpose: Writers Always Write for a Reason
