Comparative Analysis Thesis When doing a comparative analysis essay, it will depend on what you will be focusing on/arguing- Do they extend, corroborate, complicate, contradict, correct, or debate one another? In this particular piece, you are doing a compare and contrast, which means you’ll need to find a way to write one claim that has two parts to it.

Introduction To this particular comparative analysis, the introduction strategy I want you to use is Background information or more specifically Frame of Reference. In this particular strategy, for this particular assignment, you are providing background information about the Civil Rights Movement, the two speeches and the speakers. You may also start with a quote and then lead to the Frame of Reference, but the Frame of Reference must be included. You end the intro with a thesis.

Thesis If my body paragraph claims are- “In order to connect with and persuade his audience, Dr. King and President Kennedy each relied on the use of ethos by referring to the children of America.” AND “Dr. King’s audience was primarily composed of supporters so his purpose was to motivate them to continue their fight, whereas President Kennedy’s audience had varied beliefs so he had to focus on persuading them to support him and the equality movement” Your thesis may read, “Despite the dynamically different audiences and purposes, Dr. King and President Kennedy both chose a similar rhetorical device to deliver his message.”

Entry Task Grab “your” chromebook. Log in using your student number and password. Log in to the iBoss filter, leave the filter box open and then click the drive button (bottom left). Continue work on your intro- finish, and have a clear/strong thesis statement.

Organization Then, take a look at your body paragraphs. Based on your thesis’ wording, which body paragraph should logically come first. In my case, because the difference paragraph is about the difference in audience and purpose, I should probably start with that one to establish the audience and connection to purpose before I then give the statement of similarity that is connected to audience.

Transition Then you’ll need to add a transition between the paragraphs. I typically think this should build off of the previous paragraph’s ending idea, but be written as an introductory clause in the second. It should also have a connection to the thesis of the paper. IE: Despite the fact that these two men had a different purpose and needed to address his audience differently, Dr. King and President Kennedy each relied on the use of ethos by referring to the children of America.

Concluding There are many options for concluding an essay, but for this particular one, because the connecting idea is the Civil Rights movement, as both men were supporters, I want you to start with a wrap up of your argument: 1-2 sentences of addressing what was said, and then answer the “so what” question by connecting to the overall effect of these speeches in terms of American History.

Example conclusion These dynamic and amazing men used the power of persuasion to connect with their audience and motivate them to alter the course of the country. Dr. King and President Kennedy knew that a change needed to be made, and they used everything at their disposal to push for that change: from ethos to analogies and logos. It was due to people like them, that America saw the change from a country ripped apart by segregation and discrimination, to a country on the road to equality. It may have taken years, and there is still a need for change, but the two speeches, given in the summer of 1963, have a lasting power. In the words of President Kennedy, “Effort and courage are not enough without purpose and direction,” and the speeches by these two men showed the courage they had, and gave purpose and direction to their country- a purpose we still fight for today.
