Example for an analytical research paper
Analytical research paper: The analytical research paper often begins with the student asking a question (a.k.a. a research question) on which she or he has taken no position. Such a paper is often an exercise in exploration and evaluation. For example, perhaps a student is interested in the Old English poem Beowulf. She or he has read the poem intently and desires to offer a fresh reading of the poem to the academic community. Her or his question may be as follows: How should one interpret the poem Beowulf?
