A Possible Outline for Analyzing a Personal (or an Expository) Essay:

1.)  An introduction paragraph -- grab the reader's attention/interest and introduce the author and title of the essay you will be analyzing; perhaps summarize the essay as well in the introduction.  In terms of a "thesis" for this essay, your thesis might be an overview of the things in the essay you intend to analyze in your own essay.

2.)  A summary paragraph -- if you did not summarize the essay in the introduction, perhaps take the time to summarize it here; or, perhaps you gave a brief overview in the intro; now might be the time to give the main ideas or sections of the essay.  The summary paragraph is optional, but a brief summary somewhere might help focus your audience.  Keep the focus of the summary on the main units or ideas.

3.)  The body paragraphs -- have 3, 4, or perhaps 5 main analysis ideas, and cover each idea in a separate paragraph, or maybe two paragraphs for one idea if you have a lot to say about it.  See below for an example structure for a body paragraph.

4.)  A reaction paragraph -- even though the majority of your essay should be analysis from a fairly objective point of view, you might feel the urge to offer some personal response to the essay based on what ideas, opinions, or feelings you had as you read the essay.  This paragraph is optional; perhaps you just want to do this in your conclusion.

5.)  A conclusion paragraph -- perhaps restate your analysis ideas, perhaps offer commentary about how analyzing an essay is helpful, perhaps offer a personal response to the essay if you didn't already do so in a separate reaction paragraph.
