What does it mean when someone tells you to write an analysis?

Question

I have to write one on this website:

Is the format of an analysis similar to an essay?

Answer 1

Yes. Although it's a bit strange that you'd have to do an analysis on a museum... Every analysis I've ever done has been on an author or book.

Answer 2

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. Analysis means to break down and study the parts. Writing a critical paper requires two steps: critical reading and critical writing.
