CRITICAL ANALYSIS. The purpose for writing a critique is to evaluate somebody's work (a book, an essay, a movie, a painting...) in order to increase the reader's understanding of it. A critical analysis is subjective writing because it expresses the writer's opinion or evaluation of a text.

What benefits do critiquing or critique do to a writer?

Critique groups can help you improve your writing by offering feedback, perspective, and ideas. They also can provide emotional support, motivation, and accountability, as other writers understand the joys and struggles involved in writing.

Why do we critique works?

A critique is an oral or written discussion strategy used to analyze, describe, and interpret works of art. Critiques help students hone their persuasive oral and writing, information-gathering, and justification skills.
