Lawson’s stories were written in the 1890, right on the cusp of Australia becoming a federation.出于这个原因,对澳大利亚身份的探索及其对英国身份的差异是劳森工作中的重要主题。

Due to the depression, a number of Unions were formed and the 1890s was famous for its series of maritime, mining and shearers’ strikes which fought for better conditions for workers.

这反映了对既得权威的怨恨,并愿意在当时表征澳大利亚精神的抗议。

How to Analyse联盟埋葬它的死亡in 4 Steps

Analysis is the building blocks of your essay. And it’s the hardest bit to get right. It is easy to have a good thesis and three good themes, but having good analysis is what will bring your essay from a C, up to an A.

分析始终需要完成主题orideain mind, because analysis is your ability to link atechniqueor引用to a theme or idea!

There are two main steps to doing incredible analysis:
  1. Linking the technique to the idea in a meaningful way
  2. Saying something new about the idea

Now let’s put that into practice!

第1步:选择主题

We are going to be looking at the idea of如何联盟埋葬它的死亡特别关注英国宗教习俗如何不再相关,而且如何,由于这一目标,澳大利亚已经形成了一种新的文化认同。

Step 2: Choose your example

将例子整合到您的论文中的一种很好的方法是paraphrase some of the example, 然后引用您要分析的部分。这允许您平滑地将您的报价集成到您的句子中,如下所示:

The funeral traditions of sprinkling holy water and taking off one’s hats become comical in the Australian environment, when the water cannot be successfully sprinkled because “The drops quickly evaporated” and the hot sun means that the guests “shoved their hats on and off uneasily.”

第3步:识别技术

在尝试在您的示例中找到一种技术时,它并不是关于找到最常用的技术或任何旧技术。

It’s about identifying a technique which will enable you to say something about your idea that’s interesting and can contribute to your argument and analysis.

The technique that we’ve pulled out of this example issymbolism!

这是一种很好的技巧,因为它会让我们将报价与我们的主题一起连接。

Step 4: Carry out your analysis

Did you know the key to good analysis is starting with a technique?你专注于技术,并确定它揭示了一个想法的内容。

Good analysis involves using a technique to say something in addition to what the quote says.

Bad analysis is using a technique to restate what happened in the quote.

它通常听起来像这样:“因此,象征主义表明英国宗教习俗是如何不再相关的”,而不进入任何真正的深度。

So, what does the technique of symbolism reveal about Henry Lawson in this passage?

通过实际无法进行葬礼的要素,劳动象征性地表明,英国文化及其宗教与澳大利亚环境不相容。

现在,让我们来通过将它放在下面的TEE表中来组织我们的分析!

What’s a TEE table?

TEE表中的TEE代表技术,示例和效果。他们是一个很好的工具,可以使用来分析您的文本。

All you have to do is include your pieces of evidence under ‘example’ then identify the technique in the ‘technique’ column and carry out your analysis.

如果您正在分析一些主题,则每个主题有一个单独的T恤表是个好主意。例如,对于亨利·劳森,您可能希望保留所有相关的证据a new Australian identity在一张桌子里。
