Compare, contrast, form a clear thesis statement

Compare and contrast and form a clear thesis statement; while you should aim at discussing both works equally, most compare/ contrast papers don't work out that way, as one piece might get discussed more than the other (10- 15%); however, a controlling thesis must govern the dicussion, as neither essay should merely re-told

Be sure to use short, in-text quotations from the works as you deem necessary, use MLA format. 2 to 3 pages long
