I'm writing an extensive paper analyzing different sources, i.e., similarities, differences, interconnections, etc, etc.

The problem is: I ran out of idea. I compared authors, the way the papers are written (language, word usage), who the papers are written for, how the papers are connected, what are the purposes of the papers, etc, etc.

It's pretty difficult synthesizing so many sources into a one single package.

If you have any ideas or know of any good websites that would help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I often include tone. The tone of an author can be a dead give away of his stance on the subject he/she is writing about - love, death, polotics, etc. - without it being blatent. Searching for the meaning of the author's tone has always, in my case, proven to be a good topic as it shows that you did a very detailed reading of the work and are able to comprehend more than just the words that the authors are putting to paper, but also their underlying meaning.

Good luck on your paper!

Do you have a thesis? For example, were they forward thinking & does the analysis support this? Whatever the thesis, there's probably another way to support it (quotes, for example, can extend a paper).

How about use of imagery and/or style of language?
