For your Final Project, you will write a first-person narrative essay that is similar in tone and style to the types of essays featured in the Muller text.

To prepare:

•Read as many essays from different sections of the assigned text as you are able.

The assignment:

Write 2 to 3 paragraphs in which you: 

•Compare and contrast these two essays by answering the following questions: 

•Which two articles have you chosen to compare and contrast? 

•What global issue do you feel these two articles address? 

•From what perspectives do these two articles approach the issue (economics, social, cultural, historical, political)?

•In what ways are these articles different?

•In what ways are these articles the same?
