Summary and Analysis

Summary and analysis differ in multiple ways.

A summary is a comprehensive and usually brief statement about your current literature that includes at least three out of the five "W's" and one "H" .

An analysis states questions and answers how literary devices function in the literature and what they signify, and have a deeper look into something.

Summaries are usually short, and briefly stated. Its direct to the point while it is retelling something. A summary does not state some ones opinion which is makes it simpler to state facts.

Yet on the other hand, an analysis is an in depth long supported statement. It usually conveys some ones opinion while it uses directed quotes from the text. Analysis' are interpretations using a better vocabulary supported by reasons as to why or how something works.
