Points of Similarity #1

I don’t know how to handle this English question and need guidance.

Choose Student Loan Debt, Driverless Cars, Universal Basic Income, Mandatory Military Service, Arming Teachers, or Fake News as a topic.

Read the two essays on the topic.

As you read the essays, make a list of the points each author makes; give the paragraph number(s) that speaks of each point. List all points you find.

1. State the topic, the authors’ full names and “Essay Titles” in your first sentence.
2. List the points for each author in two separate paragraphs:

• • In the first paragraph, give the first author’s points and the paragraph where the points are found (you do not need full sentences, just a list);
  • In the second paragraph, give the second author’s points and the paragraph where the points are found (you do not need full sentences, just a list).

3. Write a tentative thesis statement that states preference for an author and your viewpoint and one topic sentence for a body paragraph.

***The post must be at least 250 words.
