Analysis

Analysis refers to the breaking down of data into its basic parts based on some reason or plan. An analysis of two stories might be comparing likenesses and differences in plot, characters, settings, or themes.

Steps:

1. Read the material to be analysed.
2. Break the material into separate parts.
3. Discover the relationship among ideas.
4. Develop a list of facts about each relationship.
