Description

Write an analytic response to Danny Deever

An analytic response focuses on the deeper meaning as opposed to summary. Analysis includes identifying the setting, purpose, symbolism, and theme(s) of a piece of writing to grasp the underlying meaning. (These literary terms are explained below.)

Read the story several times. Take notes on its themes, characters, setting, plot, and so on. Be sure the notes include looking beyond the surface to the deeper meaning the author is trying to relay. Include how the author’s message and the themes then impact setting, characters, plot, and so on. Analysis also looks at why the meaning is important.

Compose only one paragraph at most of summary. Remember that your audience has already read the story! The majority of the essay must move beyond summary to analysis.

Explanation of Literary Terms

explains to him that they are meant to call out all the soldiers. Files-on-Parade asks why the
Colour-Sergent looks so excited and the latter replies that he fears what he is about to witness.
The Colour-Sergent further explains that the Regiment is about to hang Danny Deever that
morning (Kipling, 2015). Deever is being executed for having shot dead his fellow comrade while
