Analyze and evaluate the essay The New Conspiracists by Muirhead and Rosenblum in the module. In writing an analysis of a reading, you must do the following:

• Read and reread thoughtfully the essay you are analyzing. Composing and keeping notes in the margins or in new documents will help you to think about what you are reading.
• Be sure to examine the author’s thesis, purpose, methods, persona, intended audience, and tone.
• Remember that, although your essay is an analysis of someone else’s writing, and you may have to include a summary of the work you are writing about, your essay is your essay, your analysis, not a mere summary; the thesis, the organization, and the tone are yours.
