How would you structure an essay with textual analysis?

The analysis should always come first. Generally, the typical essay standard is formatted like this: an introduction, 2-3 main paragraphs and a conclusion. The conclusion must summarise the points being made much like the introduction but it should never add new information. All new information should be in the main body paragraphs. Textual analysis has to be straight forward. Begin your paragraph stating what your findings are as your first sentence. The following sentences must then be evidence from the text that support the point you made in the first sentence. Conclude textual analysis paragraphs by summaries the points you made in one sentence.
