a chosen selection so again this is our Target milk compose an independent critique of a chosen selection the term critique is derived from the word criticism and for the term selection we are referring to literary selection so for this particular lesson we will be targeting to compose a literary critique actually critique papers are not only intended for literary works like poems short stories and novels but also critique paper for a book films or movies research studies and even artworks what is cricking critiquing is something that you do every day but you are not just aware that it is already a form of critiquing for example when buying a new dress you might ask yourself this are things consider and the act itself is a form of critiquing critique or critical analysis is a technique that aims to study discuss evaluate and interpret literary works the format of a critique could vary teacher critique which could be in a form of a critical essay article evaluating a literary piece or a review but today what I'll be teaching you is how to write a critical essay of a literary selection now why do we critique first is to know its overall value [Music] and also through a person's critique paper we can determine the work's strength and [Music] weaknesses weak remember although the term critique has a negative connotation you can also appraise a literary work's Beauty and strong points include now these are the parts of a critique essay it has introduction summary analysis and [Music] conclusion intruction you have to State the title of the work and the author's name you also have to outline main ideas and identify the author's [Music] theses all of this should be objective objective your answers here should be based on the text alone after this you have to State the man your own thesis statement and your main idea about the work this is how you view the work purpose what is the aim sometimes s your thesis statement and ideas are somehow different from the offers because your opinion depends on how you perceive and understand the message of the text so on this card your answers are subjective meaning it is based on your own perception s summary Nam this is also objective since the summary should depend only on the flow of the story you have to summarize the text in your own words copy paste from another source here is the third part the analysis your answer here is subjective because it depends on your own understanding and interpretation of the text so here you have to State what you like and do not like about the text and also you have to interpret and evaluate the text based on how the text is organized the style and rhetoric how effective the message is whether or not the author did Justice to the message and how the text appealed to its target audience and lastly the conclusion this part is also subjective for it depends on how you compose your thought and understanding about the selection on this part you may restate your thesis in new words summarize your main ideas if possible with new and stronger words and also you may include a call to action for example if you want to recommend or encourage other people to read the text you may say it here but remember you should avoid introducing your ideas by stating I thank or in my opinion you have to keep the focus on the subject of your analysis and not on yourself because identifying your opinions weakens them so now are you ready to compose a critique this time we will read a selection then afterwards I'll show you a sample critique based on it I guess some of you are familiar or have heard about the story already so let's begin the necklace by Henry Renee the dong MAF or Madame LEL was a pretty young lady though born to a family of Clerks she believed herself entitled to a life of luxury knowing she had no chance of bettering her situation Madame lisel married a clerk in the office of the Board of Education she was unhappy with her apartment with its worn down walls and chairs while her husband enjoyed the simple Comforts of a CT pie Madame LEL dreamed of exquisitely prepared dinners and Shining silver dishes one day her husband came home delighted he handed an envelope to Madame LEL the envelope contained an invitation to a ball hosted by the minister of Public Instruction instead of being delighted Madame LEL was upset her husband surprised remarked that it should make her happy since it was a rare honor Madame LEL in turn informed her husband that she had no suitable dress for the equation she asked him to give the invitation to someone better outfitted for it than her her husband consolingly asked her to buy a new dress though he had been saving money for a new gun he gives that amount to his wife to buy a new dress as the day of the ball approach mure LEL noticed that his wife was upset even though her dress was ready upon asking she replied that she had no Jewel to wear with her dress her husband told melde to ask her friend Madame Forester to lend one of her jewels to her so Madame lysel visited Madame Forester the next day to ask for a jeel madame Forester graciously opened her Joel box and asked her to choose Mathilda tried a few Jewels but was not happy with either of them so Madam Forester opened another case of jewels for Mathilda to try out suddenly mail noticed a beautiful diamond necklace in a black satin box maild was entranced by the diamond necklace hesitatingly she asked Madame Forester whether she could borrow the necklace Madame Forester agreed and Mathilda went home with the necklace happily at the ball Milda was a huge success she was the most elegant and prettiest of all the ladies and enjoyed the attention and admiration of men she danced and enjoyed herself till early in the morning at 4:00 the lels left The Minister's residence not wanting the other Rich ladies to see her shabby coat Mathilda hurried down the steps despite her husband's protests they had to walk for a while before they found a courage which would take them home once home Mathilda removed her coat to admire herself one last time however once she did so she realized that the necklace was missing M sure LEL though tired went out in the cold night to look for the necklace but could not find it the next day he put an ad in the paper and asked Mathilda to write to Madame Forester saying she had broken a clasp mure LEL then realized that their only option was to replace the necklace they found a similar necklace in a shop which they could buy for 36,000 Franks mure LEL used all his savings and borrowed the rest of the money to buy the necklace Madame LEL then returned the necklace to Madame Forester the L cells now were in debt the they had to change homes and Mathilda learned kitchen work to help her husband repair their debt her husband worked days and nights taking on any work to repay the money they had borrowed all this work took a toll on Madame loisel she lost her good looks she had red hands and spoke in a loud tone she no longer had time for daydreaming but sometimes she would sit and remember the night of the ball one day while taking a walk she saw Madam Forester with her child she decided to approach Madame Forester Madame Forester was surprised by mathilda's appearance Mathilda then told her the story of the necklace and how it changed her life on hearing this Madame Forester exclaimed that her necklace was not even worth 500 Franks here is a sample critique of the story we've just read here is how the writer of this critique composed the introduction Henry Renee Albert gas Sang's the necklace is a short story that describes the tale of mail deel and the experience she had with a diamond necklace mathilda's character was introduced as one who is not happy about her social standing the author managed to highlight the travails of life one entertains as a result of being class conscious this story mirrors the author's understanding of the French society of his time it is very clear that the writer mentioned the title of the text and and the name of the author then the thesis statement of the author is in yellow this parts are objective now the statement highlighted in purple is the writer's own idea and Fe the statement and therefore is subjective here now is the summary part which is solely based on the flow of the story this part is objective since you don't have to invoke your opinion here again you should summarize it in your own words summary can be as short as one [Music] paragraph the analysis on the other hand is subjective it is the time that you include your opinions and interpretation of the text again you may State hear what you like and do not like about the text also inter and evaluate the text based on how the text is organized the style and rhetoric how effective the message is whether or not the author did Justice to the message and how the text appealed to its tget audience lastly here is how the conclusion was composed it also depends on the writer on how he or she will make the ending of the critique and therefore is also subjective in nature but as for a suggestion you may restate the thesis in new words summarize the main ideas if possible with new and stronger words and you may also include a call to action thanks for [Music] watching n
