- Create a thesis that compares the two pieces and talks about a universal lesson; you can use this template if you’d like: Both these texts demonstrate that an argument, a big idea is true about [topic]; they suggest that we should __________ [what authors want to change or help us learn].
- Next, find one passage from each story to support your ideas.
- Introduce the quotes by discussing the literal level of the quote--
- summarize the situation of the quote to help us see your reading comprehension.
- Include the person who said it and what the subject of the quote is.
- After explaining each quote, try to analyze the quote--think about how the author writes it. You can talk about the figurative language, the word choice, the tone of the language, or even the rhetorical elements like pathos, ethos, or logos. Try to make a connection between the way the quote is written and the message the quote has.
- Close with an idea about how this topic plays out in the real world; can you think of a real-world example?

Please brainstorm one topic that these stories have in common. Think, for example, about what both authors teach/argue, show about Children? Siblings? Parents? Games? Loyalty?
