Explanation:
An analysis paper is usually an academical paper in which the purpose is to carefully explore, analyze and even evaluate some literary work, film, program, proposal among others. Similar to essays analysis papers are usually guided by the main claim or thesis statement in which the author states his/her position in relation to the work that will be analyzed and that guides the paper, as all the information provided in it should support the thesis statement. Additionally to this a summary and context of the work being analyzed should be included to inform and contextualize the reader about the object of analysis, thus, if the analysis paper focuses on "The Raven" by Poe, it is necessary to provide the reader with a detailed summary of what is this poem about and the features of it. Thus, it is necessary for this type of paper to have an arguable thesis, this means a clear position that can be supported and a detailed summary of the work to be analyzed that in this case is "The Raven".

writing the rough draft of an essay
The outline is supposed to help you write the rough draft of the essay, not the other way around. When you write the outline, you begin with a working thesis statement. It's called a "working" thesis statement because as you develop your ideas and determine the order of your supporting paragraphs it might need to change. You also need main and subheadings in order to create an outline as these are the outline. Also, when you're putting information into the outline you're matching like ideas and evidence together. An outline is used to help you organize your thoughts and ideas so that you can easily write the rough draft in a logical sequence. It can also help you see where your supporting evidence is lacking or your ideas are not valid before spending all the time on an essay that needs to have a major rethinking.
