The essay must be interpretive. 
\n<\/span>Don’t just compare what happens in these encounters–assume your reader
\nknows the stories well.  <\/span>Instead, compare
\nthe stories in terms of the meaning<\/i> of these encounters.  <\/span>What is the point?  <\/span>Wolff invented these characters and their stories
\nin order to say something about the human experience.  <\/span>What is Wolff saying through these stories?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

You must have a
\nfocussed thesis and three topic sentences that are clearly connected by that

i have put a picture of my essay outline it needs to follow these exact theses statment  and topic sentences<\/span><\/div>\n
thre should be many many many short itation from the book<\/span><\/div>\n
the stories from the essay are the white bible and the benefit of the doubt from tobias  wolff<\/span><\/div>\n
here is an example of a comparative outline:<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n

One
\nsuch contract is that of fellowship, which initially connects <\/span>Phillotson and young Jude<\/span>, as well as <\/span>Henchard and the newly
\nhired Farfrae<\/span>, in a bond of reciprocity and
\nmutual confidence. The betrayal of this fellowship demonstrates the growing
\napathy of individuals towards the needs and expectations of others. Initially,
\nthere is a solid foundation of mutual interest in both pacts. <\/span>After the business
\ndeal between Henchard and Farfrae, made in good faith with the joint goal of
\neconomic success, Henchard declares that Farfrae is <\/span>\u201cnow
\n\u2026 [his] friend\u201d (Mayor 51). <\/span>Likewise, after Jude helps
\nPhillotson pack, and offers his aunt\u2019s \u201cfuel-house\u201d (Jude 10) for temporary
\npiano storage, Phillotson gives Jude a book as a parting gift (and will later
\nsend him more, fuelling Jude\u2019s dream of becoming an academic) and declares that
\nhe \u201cshan\u2019t forget\u201d Jude  <\/span>(Jude 11)<\/span>. <\/span>In both cases, the importance of the bond is further
\ncemented by a confession from one of the characters, as an act of trust. <\/span>Henchard will finally feel comfortable and \u201cconfide in [his]
\nnewfound friend\u201d the complicated details of his relations with Susan and
\nLucetta (Mayor 51)<\/span>, <\/span>while Phillotson will profess to
\nJude his secret dream of becoming \u201ca university graduate, and then to be
\nordained\u201d (Jude 10).<\/span> <\/span>Both <\/span>Henchard, who feels alienated because of his past<\/span>, <\/span>and Jude, who is seen as a burden to his aunt,<\/span> <\/span>are lonely, so a pact of fellowship is of extreme
\nimportance to them. However, neither of their contracts hold over time, and
\nthere is a betrayal of confidence through forgetting. <\/span>Phillotson
\nadmits that he \u201cdoesn\u2019t remember [Jude] in the least\u201d (Jude 82),<\/span> <\/span>and Farfrae later explains that he \u201chad
\nforgot\u201d the \u201cstory of [Henchard\u2019s] life\u201d (Mayor 77), <\/span>comments which are
\nnot well received by the other party. It is significant that both Farfrae and
\nPhillotson forget their pacts when they cease to be beneficial for them. <\/span>Once Phillotson leaves Marygreen, Jude is of no consequence to him,<\/span> <\/span>and once Henchard becomes Farfrae\u2019s
\ncompetition, it is not convenient for Farfrae to uphold any sort of agreement
\nwith him. <\/span>The
\nfact that the forgetting is done <\/span>in one instance by the
\nyounger man<\/span>,
\n<\/span>and by the older in the other<\/span>, may indicate
\nthat all people, in the new worldview, 
\n<\/span>are inclined to ignore the feelings of others when they no longer suit
\nthem.<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

one of a introduction:<\/span><\/p>\n

Sample
\ncomparative introduction:<\/span><\/p>\n

          <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

          <\/span>Jane Austen\u2019s Persuasion<\/i> and Charles Dickens\u2019 Great
\nExpectations<\/i> both present characters who are acutely aware of a social
\nhierarchy around them and who know, or quickly come to know, their place in it.
\nAusten\u2019s Anne is born into the critical world of the English gentry where,
\naccording to her conservative father, proper standing is paramount. Dickens\u2019
\nPip, on the other hand, is exposed to the harsh judgment of the upper classes
\nat a young and impressionable age and, as a result, yearns for advancement. As
\nthese two characters navigate the social strictures around them, Austen and
\nDickens do much to cast their situation in a negative light, criticizing the
\ncharacter of the upper classes and the rigidity of the class system itself. The
\nprimary target of their criticism is the dehumanizing nature of a social system
\nthat separates character from status and limits meaningful personal
\ninteraction.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sample comparative conclusion:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the stress accompanied by their crises, Ferris
\nand Wilhelm come away from the experience enlightened. Through self-examination
\nthey identify the problems impeding their satisfaction with life. Although
\nFerris and Wilhelm are pained by the recognition of all that is wrong with
\ntheir lives, they do acknowledge that they have the potential to move forward
\ntowards fulfillment.  <\/span>Like Wilhelm at the
\nstranger’s funeral, both men have “s[u]nk deeper than sorrow,” but
\nthrough this process they have come to discover their “heart’s ultimate
\nneed” (Bellow 135).<\/span><\/p>\n
