Essay #2: Comparative Analysis

Write an analysis that focuses and explores something interesting you notice in either the “Report on Cuban and Haitian ‘Boat People’” or “Cloud Cover Caribbean” and open it up through comparative analysis with the other.

Remember, the rationale for working comparatively is to discover ideas about a reading much more easily when you are not viewing it in isolation. The comparison is not a 50-50 split; you’re moved to a comparison of A with B because you want to better understand A. Don’t stop your analysis too soon, with only a list of similarities and differences. Look for difference within similarity or for similarity despite difference. What do you learn, see, and/or question from these differences or similarities? So what?

Your essay requires a thesis that somehow addresses the importantisma critical thinking question: So what? You’ll need to support this idea/assertion with evidence from the text.

Use paraphrasing and quoting to provide this evidence. Try using this formula to set up your thesis: By comparing the ____ of A with the ____ of B, what is evident and why is it important…?.

Essays should be approximately 3 pages, neatly typed in Times New Roman, 12-point font, and include page numbers. All formatting, including, but not limited to in-text citations and the Works Cited page, should be done in MLA format.

You will be graded on the following criteria:

Textual Analysis:

Close reading of texts

Analysis of evidence. No summary.

Does the essay address: What? How? So What?
