Do the other author agree or disagree with the author of the focal text ?
What is significant about the similarities and differences ?

Paper should concentrate on examining the focal text : The Sun Also Rises
Half of of the paper should pertain to the other text (The Great Gatsby) as a frame of reference for the real center of the essay : the focal text -> The Sun Also Rises
