I have to write an analytical essay on the childrens book Sunday Chutney.

The assignment task sheet says.... Discuss the ways in which your chosen picture (Aaron Blabey's Sunday Chutney) book uses a combination of verbal and visual techniques to engage the implied readership(s) and communicate its story and deeper meanings (eg themes, values, ideologies etc) Be specific in your discussion of the text's main message or values and make sure you give clear examples of verbal and visual techniques from the texts to justify your argument. Use academic secondary resources and reference them in the correct format.

I have never written an analytical essay before so I am not sure where to start. I would really appreciate some advice. Plllllllllease! :/

Hello there. So first you must analyze the book thoroughly in order to write an analytical essay about it. This means searching for the a fore mentioned deeper meanings, themes, messages, values, etc. Once you have a solid foundation for your understanding of the book, develop a clear and bold opening statement for your essay. Then you should try and divide your analysis into categories, to be able to clearly represent your interpretation for it. Just be clear, use structure and write what you feel. As long as you do that, and end with a nice summary, you'll do great. I hope this has been helpful :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH SUSAN!

I shall give that a go. I normally have no problems writing but this just had me stumped. :)
