Scaffold For Comparative Essay (1 Viewer)

[acevipa]

I was wondering how I should structure my essay. I'm actually studying Frankenstein and Blade Runner. I'm thinking of tackling 3 issues and then relating context and values to them. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I have no idea.
I'm doing the same thing but all the examples are on Brave New World and Blade Runner.

On Average:

2 main issues/key ideas for each text
Relate these with each other, how they help understand and stuff
Add techniques, quotes, explanations (2-3 per paragraph/key idea)
Conclusion

iRuler is right.

Each idea/para should be:

1. Idea explored in BOTH texts.
2. Text 1:

• Elaborate on idea in text - link to context if it does
• Techniques/quotes - link to context if it does.

2. Text 2:

• Elaborate on idea in text - link to context if it does
• Techniques/quotes - link to context if it does

3. Concluding topic sentence re idea in both texts.

Basically it's like a idea/technique essay and you put in contextual links wherever you see them.

So idea --> techniques --> "This reflects the [blah context].

You're on the right track... the only other way of structuring it is by text. ie intro, text 1, text 2, conclusion

ps. 3 issues may be hard to juggle while trying to be thorough
