Analyzing a text means interpreting the text's meaning based on the evidence provided. This involves closely examining the text, identifying key elements and details, and drawing conclusions or making inferences about the author's intended message. Analyzing a text goes beyond simply reading and understanding the surface-level information; it involves deeper exploration to uncover the underlying themes, symbolism, character motivations, or literary devices used by the author. Asking questions about the text and examining the evidence provided are important steps in the process of analyzing a text, but it does not necessarily involve writing a summary or rereading the text multiple times.
