Someone teach me how to analyze!

<p>Well, I got a 4 out of 10 in my last essay…apparently I’m really good at memorizing facts and giving details BUT I don’t know how analyze. Could someone teach me how analyze? I’m not understanding how to, I only have, at this point, the ability to come up with a laundry list of details.</p>

<p>Examples would be good too. Anyways, what is analysis?</p>

<p>What class is this for? I’m guessing World, US, or European History?</p>
