So...to tell you the truth...I'm writing this 30 minutes before the due date because I could not get the book. Why? To tell another truth, I just could not get out of bed today especially because my chemistry final was yesterday and I was just catching up on 3 days of sleep. So, I have been coming back to the library over and over hoping the book would magically reshelf itself with no success.
I have, however, found these essays online with extensive search so here goes nothing...
------
An analysis is innovative when something new is argued or presented in the content of analysis. However, in the world of today where thinkers, great or just ordinary, are analyzing the same topics over and over, how can we come upon an innovative analysis?
Haven't all the the topics been covered, analyzed, bent out of shape and ornamented in order to make an analysis seem innovative?
What I believe, however, to make an analysis innovative, an individual must to get away from everyone's influences and just seek out what their own take on the subject. When we are born, we have nothing but ourselves; our own perceptions, our own behaviors and our own desires. This is however effected by the world which teaches and influences us to conform to one another.
Therefore, I believe that to make an analysis innovative, we need to think from the pits of our stomachs where we left our childhood behind. Langston Hughes accomplishes this in Bop when he describes beatings on the head as music. Like a child who knows nothing but his five senses, he simply regards a beat to his head as music to his ears. Hurston also goes back to her earliest experiences with the issue of being colored as she, "remember the very day that I became colored."
Their analysis are simple, yet new and exciting, not only because it is from a new perspective, but because it is from a perspective that we can all relate to.
