In order to successfully express your ideas analytically you must be quite sure that you recognize the differences between 3 kinds of writing:
- Descriptive
- Commentary on meaning
- Critical analysis and evaluation
When Thomas Hardy introduces the reader to Gabriel Oak he shows us that he is a cheerful person with the mention of his smiles and we are given a vivid picture of Oak’s “countenance” before Hardy goes on to show us other aspects of his appearance.
Notes
This is a little better because there is a hint that the character, Gabriel Oak is an artifact and there is the start of an implict point about technique in the mention of Hardy’s sequencing of information.
