Comparison Essay: A Literary Analysis
Your Assignment
You will be required to read two essays and explore a common theme that both pieces share in a 4 pages paper. Your goal will be two-fold with this assignment: you are to compare the various ideas and statements that both works have in common, and then use that comparison to analyze both texts.

Your final paper should offer a complete and detailed literary analysis focusing on how your chosen texts treat their connecting theme. The second part of your task is to compare the different effects that theme has in each work. In other words, you should not simply identify the similarities between your texts, but also explore the significance of these similarities.
Requirements
Your final draft should:
•Begin with an interesting and informative title
•Use evidence from the texts of the two works to analyze their connecting theme
•Be carefully and clearly written
•Use diction and style appropriate to a formal essay
•Be written entirely in the third person
•Be free of grammatical and mechanical errors
•Be double spaced, 4 pages long, written in MLA format, and printed in Times New Roman, 12-pt. Font
1) A statement that points out a similarity or difference in both essays, and it must refer back to the connecting theme. This is the paragraph’s topic sentence.
2) Give evidence, quote or paraphrase, of the opening statement of the paragraph. These make up the paragraph’s supporting sentences.
3) The most important part: explaining how that evidence proves the opening statement of the paragraph. This constitutes the paragraph’s concluding sentence/sentences.
