In Class Essay 2- Three Basic Parts of Literary
Analysis
Focus- Each body paragraph should have:

- Claim: the thesis or topic sentence (sentence with the subject and commentary or opinion)

- Data: the concrete detail or evidence, the direct quotations, specifics, examples, descriptions,
support, or paraphrases from the text to support the claim.

- Warrant: the explanation of why the data justify the claim. ALso called the commentary, the
warrant is the authorization for the “leap”’ from the data to the claim. The warrant or commentary
echoes the focus in the thesis and topic sentence in the essay. Warrants are opinions or
comment-- not concrete details.

Body Paragraph = 1 sentence for topic sentence

Chunk = 1 sentence: concrete detail
