A
comparative essay: “papers in which you compare and contrast two things: two
texts, two theories, two historical figures, two scientific processes, and so
on.” (Walk) And so, a comparative essay seeks to show the similarities and
differences between two or more things. That or it can also seek to show how
one thing looks through the lens of another, being this called lens comparison.
My essay
comparing Kafka’s Letter to his father and Auster’s The Invention of Solitude
shall most probably be an A-to-B essay, trying to show the similarities and
differences of both of the texts in a parallel way.
I shall establish
a thesis which shall “Convey the gist of my argument” (Walk) and show in which
way I’m going to compare the texts, with this I should be able to contrast each
of the texts in a given frame of reference.
