Often, answering the \u201cSo what?\u201d question will mean linking the topic to a more abstract issue such as gender roles, social class, the nature of goodness and evil, the discovery of identity, child-adult relations, or some other issue that allows you to analyze the significance of the topic you have chosen.

Your thesis may focus on a common idea shared by the two texts OR it may focus on a fundamental contrast of ideology. Develop supporting arguments that allow you to compare the two texts side by side in each part of the essay. Do not devote the first half of the essay to one text and the second half to the other \u2013 go back and forth between the two texts, comparing them directly. Remember that your purpose is not to demonstrate how similar\/different the two texts are in terms of plot or setting; rather, it is to compare the underlying ideas within them, assessing whether they agree or disagree with one another in what they are saying about an issue.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: inherit; background-color: var(--color-6); font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit;\">5.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"background-color: var(--color-6); color: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; cursor: auto;\">Examine your texts carefully for details and<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><b style=\"background-color: var(--color-6); color: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: bold; cursor: auto;\">quotations<\/b><span style=\"background-color: var(--color-6); color: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>that you can use in your essay. People often underestimate how much textual evidence to include in an English essay; a strong essay will be one that pays close attention to apparently small details that readers familiar with the texts may not have noticed. Your quotations should not simply remind your reader of major plot elements, but should instead call your reader\u2019s attention to the specifics of imagery and word choice. Be sure to introduce each quotation, briefly indicating its context, and comment on how it supports your thesis.<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><b style=\"background-color: var(--color-6); color: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: bold; cursor: auto;\">You cannot do well on an English essay without including ample textual evidence, including direct quotations from the texts you\u2019re analyzing.<\/b><\/div>\n<div><b style=\"background-color: var(--color-6); color: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: bold; cursor: auto;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>you can go above or below that number by 10%.
