Select all the correct answers

which of the following elements can you use to provide textual evidence in a literary analysis essay?

1. a thesis statement

2. the authors biography

3. direct quotations

4. summary of the plot

5. paraphrasing text

Hi!

The correct options would be Direct Quotations and Paraphrasing.

Textual evidence refers to those lines or statements that substantiate a claim. In our case, while analyzing a literary piece, we can incorporate direct quotations, or paraphrase particular lines from the essay that support our argument or opinion.

Direct quotations are lines cited unaltered directly from the essay, and are incorporated between quotation marks. This is the most effective form of textual evidence.

Paraphrasing entails that the same idea, fact or message conveyed by the author in the essay are mentioned in the analysis in one's own words.

The thesis statement is clearly defines the topic of the analysis and all the textual evidence must be presented in a way to support it. It, itself, cannot be textual evidence.

The summary of the plot would be the brief account of the essay, and may not necessarily be as effective in proving a claim, and does not qualify as effective textual evidence when analyzing a literary essay.

Similarly the biography of the author may or may not relate to the literary essay, and is hardly used as textual evidence.

Hope this helps.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)
