It does not depend on the amount of words you use to analyze the text. You should emphasize on the amount of figurative languages, word phrases, writers technique you are able to find. Analyze the smallest details starting from the title all the way to the ending. Some common figurative languages you must know about include: pun, simile, metaphor, alliteration, irony, oxymoron, onamatopeia, euphemism, visual imagery, auditory imagery, etc. Learn how the following figurative languages affect the readers using google. It is also significant to understand the effect of parenthesis, statistical data and informal language used in the passage. However, an adequate text anaylis contaisn about 450 words
