Summary is something we all have done if we have ever done a book report. I know this was said in the
video lecture, repatedly but, it is a good example of summary. Analysis is something I have personally
not done a whole lot of. Analysis is an in depth study and re-reading of the text so one can better produce
their argument. Analysis requires that the reader be objective to whatever they are reading, taking notes
using other materials of research to be able to make their argument the best it can possibly be. If
the person doing the analysis of the text is successful said person will have readers of their analysis
disagree with them, or have them looking at the studied text in a whole new light. A summary in comparison
to analysis would be like carpet bombing as opposed to laser guided missiles. A summary might get the
job done, but a laser guided missile (analysis) is more to the point.
