So I need help on writing a good integrated essay structure for comparative study. I was thinking of this:

Intro

Similarity - text 1

similarity - text 2

difference - text 1

difference - text 2

Conclusion

so total 4 body paragraphs. Is this a good structure or should I change it somehow? Would greatly appreciate if anyone could give me feedback on this or suggest some other integrated structure

its a good and simple (but effective) way to structure it
biggest thing is to make sure you are linking closely between both texts throughout
i.e. you can't just be like (topic sentence) Similarly, blahblahtext also conveys notions of blahblahtheme
draw links/similarities/contrasts throughout the paragraphs

Intro

Idea 1 - Text 1

Idea 1 - Text 2

Idea 2 - Text 1

Idea 2 - Text 2

Conclusion

You should also be weaving in comparisons and similarities throughout each of these paragraphs.

HEY JATHU!

Heres what my teacher gave us for a Clueless- Emma comparative study essay

Intro

Text 1 (Emma) - marriage
Text 2 (Clueless) - marriage + 30 words comparative

Text 1 (Emma) - social hierarchy
Text 2 (Clueless) - social hierarchy + 30 words comparative

Bildungsroman genre - both texts (I left out this para tho)

Conclusion

Hope it helps you! Best of luck
