Context Evidence Analysis

This document provides examples of using the CEA (Context, Evidence, Analysis) structure to write paragraphs that integrate quotations. It begins by explaining the basic CEA format and then provides two examples that analyze characters from Of Mice and Men. The first analyzes Curley's wife, providing context about her flirting, evidence from the text describing her body language, and analysis of why she behaves this way. The second example effectively integrates a quotation into a CEA paragraph about Curley's wife. The document then lists words that can be used to link evidence to analysis before concluding with a short summary of the movie V for Vendetta.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY


Peter Quill, when trying to get the rest of the gang
to rally and fight, has an interesting choice of words
in the phrase: When I look around, you know what
I see? Losers. He then goes on to clarify that losers
were just people who had lost important things,
and as a result, his speech actually worked.

V FOR VENDETTA
IDEA: Words have power
ARGUMENT: Stand up for what you believe in

V FOR VENDETTA
Because while the truncheon* may be used in lieu

of conversation, words will always retain their


power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for

those who will listen, the enunciation of truth.


*a short, thick stick carried as a weapon by a police officer.

V FOR VENDETTA
Despite living in a police state, V argues words

will always retain their power, suggesting that


people should speak up for what they believe
in since ideas can never be battered down in
the way that people might be.
