Write a compare/contrast essay.

Comparison and/or Contrast Assignment (Academic Argument)

This comparison and/or contrast essay is a personal response and can include your own personal opinions, reactions, examples, and observations. You may use "I", but do not rely heavily on it (avoid 'I think that' or 'I believe that' etc.). Avoid using unclear pronouns (e.g. you, we, our). Clarify your meaning and be specific. For this essay, I provided two sources for you to use as supporting evidence. You must compare and/or contrast both sources. A minimum of four citations (either direct quotes or paraphrases) is required. You must carefully construct your essay with a strong structure. Remember to include all the main components of a strong essay (thesis statement, topic sentences, supporting evidence, and conclusion). I suggest you use an essay outline to help you plan your response.

Questions:

Write a multi-paragraph essay (4-5 paragraphs) (approximately 500-600 words in length); include a thesis statement with at least two main points of comparison and/or contrast, and a strong conclusion.
Use either BLOCK or Point-by-Point pattern in your essay structure.
DOUBLE-SPACE your essay.
Organize your support in advance, and proofread carefully for grammar, spelling and mechanics. You will lose marks for poor language skills.
Use specific support from two sources in your essay. If you use a quotation, make sure you analyze it (DO NOT simply insert a quotation and move on).
Remember to include in-text citations for all of the evidence you use.
Remember that your comparison and/or contrast of the sources should support your overall purpose/thesis. Ask yourself: What are you arguing in this essay? Why are you comparing and/or contrasting these two sources?
