Asked by student
I need help in writing a detailed paragraph contrasting these two stories "Gumption" and "To build a fire" and how their structures influence meaning.

I haven't read those, but the following may help you with the organizing and writing.
-----------------------------------
Whenever you are writing a comparison/contrast paper (paragraph, essay, research paper), you need to <b>plan it out very carefully on paper first</b>.
Try this:
1. Brainstorm about one of your topics on one page.
2. Brainstorm about the other topic on a separate page.
3. Then read over your brainstorming. Indicate all things that are similar with one symbol (maybe stars), and indicate all things that are differences (or maybe opposites) with a different symbol.
4. Then put them together in this order:
1. Intro
2. All about topic A
~~~2A. detail 1
~~~2B. detail 2
~~~2C. detail 3
~~~2D. detail 4
~~~2E. detail 5
3. All about topic B
~~~3A. detail 1
~~~3B. detail 2
~~~3C. detail 3
~~~3D. detail 4
~~~3E. detail 5
4. Concl.
The number of details for each topic will vary depending on your main points. I would include comparisons (how they are similar) in the introduction and conclusion, but sections 2 and 3 and all those details will be stating and explaining how they are different.
There are two recognized patterns for writing comparison/contrast papers. One is casually referred to as "zig-zag,” but can be very confusing for the reader if you don’t use transitions effectively. The other is topic-by-topic (which is what I've outlined above) and is much easier for the reader to follow.

Once you have organized your information, please re-post if you’d like feedback from someone here.

I would start by identifying the different story’s text structures.
I know that’s like no brainer DUH! But it might be helpful
I’m in the same boat🥺🥺🥺
