THE BODY
Here are three popular methods you can use to organize the body of the essay:
1. With the “Whole to Whole” method you discuss the important aspects of one text, then the other.
▶ You may lose track of your main points if you’re not careful.
2. Another method is to show all similarities, then all of the differences.
▶ This can seem less integrated, less fluent.
3. You might instead go subject by subject (point by point).
▶ For example you might compare the tone in each poem, then the imagery in each poem, etc.
