Building on your experience analyzing texts and conducting research, this essay will ask you to place two texts into conversation with one another. More than summarizing or showing similarities between the two, bringing the two together to argue a claim. This claim should connect directly to your semester topic and be evident in a clear thesis statement in the essay’s introduction.
In other words, you are asserting that placing these two texts together allows us to learn something. The two texts could be working in concert—i.e., furthering the same point. For instance, you could make a claim and then explore how genre affects presentation. Alternatively, you could contrast the two to make a claim that one text is doing something that the other is not—i.e., bringing the two together highlights your point by providing a contrast. Perhaps one of the texts is even a “what not to do” case study of your claim.
As you go about placing the texts in conversation, make sure to support your claim with quotes, moving from point to point with clear transitions. Your argument should attend to stylistic choices and rhetorical devices where appropriate, and, if possible, respond to any fallacies as a way to strengthen your own claim. Ultimately, this analysis should make a clear argument as to why these texts matter in conversation.
