How to structure a comparative paragraph for AQA Poetry.
Writing a comparative essay about two poems, seen or unseen, is what students will eventually be assessed on when they come to sit the poetry analysis part of their GCSE Literature in essay.How do I write a poetry comparison essay? Step 1: READ!! Read the poems, and then read them again, and probably again just to be sure. Step 2: After reading through both poems thoroughly, you can make notes for each poem according. Step 3: The next step is to put all of these ideas into a plan.For example, a comparative essay using the block method on the French and Russian revolutions would address the French Revolution in the first half of the essay and the Russian Revolution in the second half. If you choose the block method, however, do not simply append two disconnected essays to an introductory thesis.
The other way for how to compare and contrast poems is to switch between works every paragraph. In this way, you discuss one element of one poem and move on to discuss the same element in the second poem. Often, this method is the easiest for a reader to follow. When using this structure, make sure you have complete body paragraphs.Write down the ideas you would like to discuss. Write down all literary means that you are going to mention. Then, arrange them in proper order. Finally, you can start the actual writing. The poetry essay structure is the same as the structure of any paper of this kind.
For example, if I was to compare Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 and Christina Rossetti's Remember on a question about love, my first paragraph in the essay would comment on Sonnet 116 and it's form, the sonnet. I would then relate this to the theme, e.g. the sonnet, a typical form in the 16th Century, is a suitable and common poetry form.
