Blog #7: Compare and Contrast


The last mode of writing development that we've studied in the second quarter of our course deals with how to write a compare and contrast essay. It is important that you know how to analyze rhetorical texts and organize them---and texts can come in all forms. Use blog #6 to explore this concept. Here's what to do:

1) Choose two images, symbols, pictures, etc. that have similarities and differences.
2) Embed the images onto your blog.
3) Answer the following questions and do the following tasks:
a. If you were to write a compare and contrast essay on these two images, what would your purpose be?
b. Write a sample thesis which reflects that purpose.
c. What would your key points be?
d. Would you organize subject by subject, or point by point?
