In MLA format, write an essay comparing and contrasting two of the poems suggested below, or contextualize a poem within a story. Compare and contrast essays are a bit different from regular literary analysis essays in that they critically discuss the similarities and differences of two texts, then synthesize meaning out of the differences. (This strategy essentially follows the process of what we in the humanities call “thesis, antithesis, and synthesis.”) This essay will require more than one draft in order to synthesize a decent thesis, and cannot be satisfactorily completed the night before the due date. Remember to include a topic sentence and your thesis statement near the beginning of your essay and provide ample support for your assertions. Also be sure to properly reference your quotations and sources, and to include a “Works Cited” page at the end of your essay. You should quote from each poem at least once (but probably no more than twice each). PS: English is not my first language, might want words not too complicated.
