What is structure the comparison as one argument?Show answer
Build paragraphs around points of comparison, not around texts. Each body paragraph should take one facet of the shared subject and move between the texts inside the paragraph, weighing how each handles it. This integrated movement is the single clearest marker of comparative skill. Handling one text fully and then the other produces parallel description, which markers read as a comparison that never actually compared.
