Student Writing Assignment

Examine Bruce Catton's essay  "Grant and Lee:  A Study in Contrasts" [link] as a  model to understand the comparison/contrast mode of writing. 

Task: Write your own comparison and contrast essay on William Shakespeare's play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. Use two characters from the play in the same way that Catton did, and follow the structure of his essay. Your essay should have the same kinds of sentences and be organized in the same way. You can use some of Catton's language if you want. Or, you can use your own. In either case, make sure that you cite Catton as a source, since you are using his language, or at least his structure.
