Part-to-whole relationships and breaking those down into their functions is what we do when we analyze. We argue about how the parts function.
\nFor practice, look at the following image.\u00a0 It is Edward Hicks’s The Cornell Farm<\/em>\/.\u00a0 The image has a fascinating composition, so watch the way one’s eyes are directed from area to area in the painting.\u00a0 Are there any symbols?\u00a0 Signs?\u00a0 (Do you know the difference between a sign and a symbol<\/a>?)<\/p>\n

Edward Hicks, The Cornell Farm <\/em>(1848).<\/p>\n

Clearly, we can argue the parts and how they function.\u00a0 Analysis is all about functions in the structure and effects upon the viewer\/reader.\u00a0 It’s worth remembering that the act is destructive (lysis<\/em> meaning just that), sort of like taking apart a watch and seeing if it will function without this or that gear.\u00a0 And, no, don’t use the creationist blind watchmaker argument here just because I mentioned watches.\u00a0 Their idea that something as sophisticated as an eye could not have evolved is easily-enough refuted<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
