In your final comparative paper (8-10 pages, double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 font, MLA format) you will strive for originality of ideas, analysis, close textual interpretation, and clarity of writing.  The goal of this paper is for you to choose any two similar or dissimilar writers, themes, ideas, perspectives that we have encountered and analyzed throughout the course.  You must address at least one reading or media we have discussed in the course, and you are free to relate this to an outside reading/media.  You must also refer to at least two outside sources (these can be articles, texts, or media).
