Additional Thoughts A critical analysis has two missions: to summarize a source's main idea and to respond to the source's main ideas, evidences, effectiveness (word choice, tone, audience, other stylistic choices/devices, etc.) with reactions based on your synthesis. Critical analysis are not "I agree and/or I disagree" responses. You will want to find something critical to point out about what the author is trying to say. A critical response is an analysis of and a commentary on another piece of writing. It generally focuses on technique as well as on content. Critical analyses are also focused on evaluating the validity of the author's evidence and support for the thesis statement.
