I'm trying to think of three main points to back up my thesis statement for a topic that I chose to write about. My topic is the way that sarcasm is used in two stories by two different authors.

What kind of things should I look for when analyzing how both authors use sarcasm in their work?

Any of your ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

The first thing that came to mind was that sarcasm is used quite often in stories with moral lessons. Also used quite often in American Indian literature. I would look for sarcasm that has a double meaning. Dialog that could have more than 2 different meanings depending on the age of the reader, their culture or the setting in which it is being read.

First state the similarities and focus on how the use of sarcasm proves or makes each author's "point." Next, you can focus on the differences. Example: Author 1 uses sarcasm to illustrate... while Author 2 uses sarcasm to show... You get the idea :-) I hope this helps.

That's unlawful and unethical. Do your possess paintings or you can not ever get a well schooling or a well process. If you *ever* get stuck plagiarizing in school, you're going to instantly be kicked out of tuition for well, no less than at some of the faculties I have ever heard of.

Why on earth did you pick such an inundating topic? That's even deep for a college grad like myself! I'm sorry but you have quite a subject to find some help with. Good Luck.
