Be sure to state the full name of the authors and the titles of the stories/ plays in the introduction of your paper.

–At the conclusion of the introduction paragraph, develop/clarify the thesis by stating the main points you will address in your paper.

–In the beginning of your paper, provide a very brief overview of the plot of the works in order to provide a frame for your analysis, but keep the overview brief and to the point, considering that your audience is familiar with the works.

–Make sure that each body paragraph has a clarified main point (topic sentence); for example, In both Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and “Petrified Man,” pregnancy is an important theme, Maggie’s desire to become pregnant and Mrs. Fletcher’s ambivalence about her pregnancy.

–Avoid plot summary in the body of the paper; focus on synthesis–comparing and contrasting–of the stories. Compare and contrast by writing alternate paragraphs on the works, for example, a paragraph on pregnancy in Cat and a paragraph on pregnancy in “Petrified Man” or compare and contrast the topic of pregnancy in the two works in the same paragraph.
