The first quote that I will be analyzing is from an essay I wrote in English 101 entitled Welcome To Burlesque!
· According to Webster’s Dictionary, burlesque is a “witty or derisive imitation” or a “broadly humorous variety show”. Basically, burlesque showcases a performance, with the main purpose being to mock or imitate and also to make the audience laugh.
I think this sample is good and meets all the requirements in exercise two. If you were to read further into the paper, you would see how it relates to the text.
This next quote is also from Welcome To Burlesque!
· Film critic Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle agrees with Aguilera’s musical talent in this quote from his movie review of the film, “…Her deep, booming voice shakes the theater’s sound system…”
This sample introduces the quote well, but does not explain the quote very well. To fix this I can say something like, “The essence of LaSalle’s argument is that Christina Aguilera is a great singer.”
