What is an analytical paper?
    When you are required to write an analytical essay, it means in your essay you should present some argument, and then to analyze it thoroughly.
Elements
    The basic elements of academic essay writing are two: a thesis and evidence, divided into three parts: an introduction, the systematic development of an argument with EVIDENCE, and a conclusion. All scholarly writing, from the most concise paper to the longest book, follows these basic guidelines.
