Purpose: Complete a written comparative analysis of two texts and evaluate how the language features, stylistic features, and conventions in these texts are used to represent ideas, perspectives, and/or aspects of culture, and to influence audiences.
1.Independently select two texts to compare. Select texts from extended texts (e.g. novels, short stories, article, etc.), poetry or song [of appropriate length & depth], drama scripts, films [short & feature length or documentary] or media texts [including speeches or episode of a TV show].
Consider the following points:
The texts need to be challenging enough to allow you to write up to a maximum of 2000 words and demonstrate comparative analysis.
The texts should have some similarities and some differences as a basis for comparison. For example, they may explore similar ideas (e.g. racism) or similar events (e.g. a news event), be similar text types (e.g. crime movies), or be by the same author or poet.
If the texts have no connections at all, the comparison will be limited.
