Critical Approaches to Writing a Review/Reaction
Paper/Critique
 Critical approaches are sometimes called lenses.

These are different perspectives one can consider
when looking at a piece or several pieces of work,
literature or a concept. Here are the important
critical approaches:
z
1. Formalist criticism
 emphasizes the form of a literary work to determine its

meaning. It focuses on the literary elements of form
such as style, structure, tone, imagery, etc. and how
they work to create meaning. A primary goal for
formalist critics is to determine how such elements
work together with the text’s content to shape its
effects upon readers
z
2. Biographical Criticism
 emphasizes the importance of the author’s life

and background into account when analyzing a
text. Focus on the life and background of the
writer/artist and connect it to the subject of your
review or critic.
 Example: How did the life of Dr. Jose Rizal affect
his written works?
z
3. Feminist criticism
 emphasizes on the roles, positions, and

influences of women. It focuses on how women
are portrayed in a certain literary work, in arts, in
commercials, in movie, etc.
 Example: Are women viewed as inferior beings
in the movie? How were they portrayed?
z
4. Historical Criticism
 This approach “seeks to understand a literary work by

investigating the social, cultural, and intellectual
context that produced it—a context that necessarily
includes the artist’s biography and milieu.” A key goal
for historical critics is to understand the effect of a
literary work upon its original readers
z
5. Reader-Response Criticism
 emphasizes that the meaning of a text is dependent upon

the reader’s response to it or simply focuses on the meaning
you created while reading a text, watching a movie or
looking at a certain object. It focuses on your personal
connection with and understanding of the subject of your
review. It attempts “to describe what happens in the reader’s
mind while interpreting a text” and reflects that reading, like
writing, is a creative process.
z
6. Marxist Criticism
 emphasizes on how power, politics, and money

play a role in literary texts and amongst literary
societies and characters. It also focuses on
how class, power, race and economic status
affect the content and theme of a certain work.
z

Sa Aking Mga Kababatà

by Dr. Jose P. Rizal
Kapagka ang baya’y sadyang umiibig

Sa kanyang salitang kaloob ng langit,
Sanlang kalayaan nasa ring masapit
Katulad ng ibong nasa himpapawid
Ang wikang Tagalog tulad din sa Latin,

Sa Ingles, Kastila, at salitang anghel
Sapagka’t ang Poong maalam tumingin
Ang siyang naggawad, nagbigay sa atin
’Pagka’t ang salita’y isang kahatulan

Sa bayan, sa nayo’t, mga kaharian
At ang isang tao’y katulad kabagay
Ng alin mang likha noong Kalayaan
Ang salita nati’y tulad din sa iba

Na may alfabeto at sariling letra
Na kaya nawala’y dinatnan ng sigwa
Ang lunday sa lawa noong dakong una
Ang hindi magmahal sa kanyang salita

Mahigit sa hayop at malansang isda
Kaya ang marapat pagyamaning kusa
Na tulad sa Inang tunay na nagpala
