Guidelines for Writing a Comparison or Contrast Essay on Characters

1. Introduction:

• Introduction to the characters: Briefly introduce the two characters you will compare or contrast.
• Thesis Statement: State the purpose of the essay, explaining the similarities or differences you will explore. Use one of the following thesis options:
  • Option 1 (Difference Thesis): “While some differences between __________ and __________ (names of characters) are evident, they are similar in the aspects of __________, __________, and __________ (three points of comparison).”
  • Option 2 (Similarity Thesis): “While some similarities between __________ and __________ (names of characters) are evident, they are different in the aspects of __________, __________, and __________ (three points of comparison).”

2. Body Paragraphs:

• Point-by-Point Comparison Style: Organize the essay by discussing one point of comparison or contrast at a time.
• Choose three points of comparison or contrast: Select three traits or qualities from the pool provided (e.g., confidence, boldness, empathy toward others, perseverance, integrity, honor).
• Topic Sentence: Each paragraph should start with a clear topic sentence indicating which trait you will be comparing or contrasting.
• Evidence from the text: Use specific examples from the text to support your analysis of how each character demonstrates or lacks the chosen traits.

3. Conclusion:

• Summarize the main points: Recap the key similarities or differences you discussed in the body paragraphs.
• Restate the thesis: Restate the thesis in a way that reflects the arguments made throughout the essay.
• Final insight: Provide a concluding thought that adds depth to the comparison or contrast, reflecting on what the comparison reveals about the characters or the text as a whole.

4. Formatting:

• Length: Typically, your essay should be 3-5 paragraphs.
• Style: Follow standard essay writing practices with clear topic sentences, transitions between paragraphs, and a logical flow of ideas.
• References: Use relevant sources (e.g., texts, readings) to back up your points. You may also include quotes or paraphrased content as evidence for your analysis.

5. Proofreading and Editing:

• After writing, make sure to proofread your essay for grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors.
• Ensure that your ideas are clearly expressed and that the essay flows logically from one paragraph to the next.
