Critical/Analytical Response
According to Alberta Learning... an analytical/critical response is an examination of the validity of the content of the text and of the ways in which the language, imagery, form and organizational structure of that text serve the content and context. This larger examination is linked to students’ personal response to extend understanding.
In other words, a critical/analytical response is your analysis of the theme of a text, using literary elements as evidence to prove that theme.
