Hello,

My textbook and teacher tends to use this layout for the English Language Analysis when analyzing TWO articles+image

Intro: details of both articles

Body 1: persuasive techniques for article 1

Body 2: persuasive techniques for article 2

Body 3: similarities/contrasts

Conclusion: overall effect

HOWEVER, what tends to always occur with me is

e.g. Article 1= rhetorical, evidence, tone

Article 2=rhetorical, hyperbole, pun

In the above instance, what am I meant to do? There is barely anything similar to compare with in my 3rd body! And to merely state differences in my opinion does not seem wise because it seems as thoguh I am skipping discussing similarities.

Any help in time for tomorrow is MUCH appreciated!

I would go with your teacher recommendation. A nicely accepted layout like you described above allows the markers to look for whether you've met the criteria more easily. You don't want to make life hard for the markers unless you've got a good reason to do so :-)

That said, I doubt it would have much affect on your mark: they're more likely to be looking at the quality of writing and an interesting discussion of the persuasive techniques, rather than a strict format of your answer.

Good luck for tomorrow!
