how to write an effective comparison esay?

Question

how would i go about writing an effective essay comparing the advantages and disadvantages of synthetic materials

Answer 1

Doing your research, like others have mentioned is always the first step in writing and "effective essay."

There's basically two ways to craft this paper.

Block Method:

1. Describe all the advantages of synthetic materials.
2. Describe all the disadvantages of synthetic materials
3. Compare/Contrast and argue view points. You must have a thesis that you're trying to support, remembe that. You should bear in mind primacy/recency and which argument you want to puth forth first.

Alternating Method:

Describe advantage/disadvantage of each issue (possibly in terms of cost, environmental factors, ease of use) I can't really say because I'm not versed on the subject. Once you alternately describe each, then summarize and conclude.

To me, the most important part of your paper is your first two sentences. Always start off with a bang ... But NEVER start by saying "The Websters dictionary ...."

Good luck.

Do include researched information and quote your sources.
