Essay #2 Assignment: COMPARE and CONTRAST:
“Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid and “Sweat” by Zora Neale Hurston
In a 3 page essay COMPARE/CONTRAST two of the pieces above to develop a strong claim.
The point of a compare/contrast essay is not to simply list similarities and differences between the two stories but to find a strong piece of insight that wouldn’t have been achieved if the two stories had been analyzed separately.
To support your points, draw evidence from:
· Source texts: Present evidence from both works. Quotes/Paraphrases/Summaries must be in “sandwich” form with an in-text citation to make a clear distinction between words/ideas in the text and your commentary/analysis.
· Connections: Building off the in-class activity, how can you use the “text-to-self” or “text-to-text” connections to tell a story to prove a point through either a personal anecdote or real-world story?
