Discusses the three articles you have chosen that became the basis for your lens. This discussion will be a brief summary of the articles – similar to what you did for the comparative critique.

Includes brief contextual information about the issue that is at stake – the two objects which you will analyze.

You will want to center on what the authors say about your topic and how they apply their ideas.

The statement of your lens and the introduction of your objects of analysis will funnel down into your thesis that makes an interesting/provocative claim about your objects that demands a paper to be written. It avoids the five main categories of problem thesis statements: statement of fact, overly broad, no claim, personal opinion, restatement of conventional wisdom

Take a little time here to talk about your objects.

This part should be an expansion of what you have already introduced. For instance, if you are comparing the mall to the straw markets in the Bahamas, you will need to describe your particular mall (even if it is College Mall) and the straw market. Be objective here.

You will now discuss your objects based on your lens.

You are actually comparing and contrasting the ideas that went into making up your lens as you are applying it at the same time.

You have used information/quotes from at least three different articles in WRAC to enhance your analysis.

You have chosen appropriate parts of the essays to apply to the analysis; you have not mused or inaccurately represented the information form the outside source to "make it" apply to the object (this is what Joshua asked about).

You have used the sources in such a way that they do not feel forced but add to the claim(s) you want to make about your objects

What can you say at this point of the function of the objects you have chosen as seen through the lens that you have formulated?

Does your analysis say anything about community, human nature, the human condition?

Please indicate the larger significance and/or importance of the issues uncovered as a result of writing the comparative analysis.
