This document provides 5 tips for analyzing texts: 1) Analyze persuasive techniques, stylistic devices, and how the author achieves their goals. 2) Don't just summarize what happens, explain how it's achieved. 3) Avoid using first-person pronouns like "I" which are uninteresting to readers. 4) Frequently quote and dissect the text to support your analysis. 5) Establish the form, author, and audience in the first paragraph for context. The tips emphasize close reading, avoiding self-reference, and using evidence from the text to explain the author's techniques.
