Compare and contrast below essays
Jensen, “Forget Shorter Showers,” p. 564 and McKibben,
“Waste Not, Want Not,” p. 557
This essay is a comparison and contrast assignment that will
compare two essays on a similar theme. Essays to analyze must be chosen from
the list below. Your essay will let your reader (the class in this case) see
the points that both essays are trying to make and your perspective on the
topic.
Writing Tips
Look at how the authors present this topic. Does it add to
your understanding or make you think of something related to the topic?
Remember your essay must have a reader and a purpose in mind. In planning this
essay, you must answer these questions:
Why is this matter of interest to the individual to whom you
are writing?
What is your position on this topic?
What are the key points you will use in developing your
topic?
What examples can you use from each text to develop your
analysis? (Hint: you will have already done this in Discussion 9.)
Use these answers in writing your essay. Your essay will
compare and contrast the two essays according to whatever criteria you set.
Focus your essay on your purpose and provide examples and details from both
essays in developing your points.
