How to Write a Comparative Essay

Comparative essays call for a comparison of two or more things: you may be asked to compare different views, events, people or things.

Plan:

  1. Introductory paragraph

  2. Body

  3. Conclusion

Tips:

  1. Write your essay out of order.

  • Body paragraphs first. Work through all that information you have or have found or what kind of story it tells you. Only when you’ve worked with your facts will you know what the larger point of your essay is.

  • Conclusion second. Now that you’ve done all the heavy lifting, the point of your essay should be fresh in your mind. Strike while the iron’s hot. And usually in conclusion we express OUR OPINION about the problem or issue.

  • Intro last. This is basically a reorganizing/rephrasing of your conclusion. Make sure you don’t reuse the exact same words/phrases

  1. Write the body paragraphs. The first sentence of a body paragraph (often called the topic sentence) prepares the reader for what you’ll be covering in that paragraph, the middle of the paragraph presents the information you’ve gathered, and the last sentence draws a low-level conclusion based on that information. Be very careful not to address different aspects of each subject. Don’t compare the color of one thing to the size of another.

  1. Obligatory use of linking words, conversational phrases:

  • I suppose

  • I consider

  • From my point of view

  • In my opinion

  • In the beginning / in the end

  • To sum up

  • In conclusion

  • What is more

  • Besides

  • In addition

  • By the way

  • I’d like to mention

  • I must admit

  • As far as sth. is/are concerned
