From what I understand about compare/contrast/causal analysis, you'll need to write about how something has changed, explain why it changed (this is the causal part), and compare and contrast how it was before changing to how it is now.  How about writing about the role of women in American society.  Much has changed, even in just the last century.  Compare and contrast the role of women in the past to the role of women today in America.  Explain what happened to cause this change (voting rights, the women who began to take on men's factory jobs in WWII, the move away from agricultural life where the woman kept the home running to more urbanized life where women work, the decrease in the size of the average family, allowing the woman to take on responsibilities outside of just the home.

Call local public library, ask for research, and an experienced researcher will point you to the appropriate references to complete your assignment.  This approach will also enable you to site the origins of the content of your paper (a practice known as footnoting references).  ie. When you write your assignment paper, at the end, give credit to the sources you used to discuss the book!  Do not claim to have read the book and 'float' the pretext that the summary conclusions are your own.  That would be plegiarism, which carries severe repercussions academically.

starting with a quote is always good, make sure it relates to your paper.\n\nor you could say "(subject) and (subject) seem to be very alike in many ways. However, they are actually very different."\n\nhave fun!

Is this for a HS class or a college class assignment?\n\nHS-- The title of your paper should be centered, underlined, and bold. Pick a font lol\n\nhit enter about 4 times and\n\nThen underneath the title center these; Your name, Teacher, What class ( English Period 8 or Psychology 101), And then the date.

This is what I do when I'm in your situation:\nFirst of all.. you've started! Congrats. That's 3 less pages you have to do tonight!\nSecondly.. It won't be a crappy paper if you just sit down, say to yourself, Focus and Concentrate for a few hours and get it done! Remember, this is One night you might have to stay up pretty late just so you can get the 10 extra points and a good grade, as well as maintain your already good grade! I say go for it. I'm sure there has been many times you've stayed up late/pulled an all-nighter partying.. (which in anyones defense is a lot easier, laid-back and funner).. but you need this! Go For It! You will thank yourself in the end!! I promise.. --so long as you write it to the best of your ability.. also, if in the end you just aren't pleased with it, don't hand it in! Work on it some more and improve it and you will still get a good grade and be proud of your work! Good Luck!

You've never written an essay before and you're at the university? That seems strange. Anyway...In your introduction, you should briefly mention the three articles you are comparing and contrasting. Then, as you discuss each in the body paragraphs you can just refer to each article by the author's last name. For example, you could say, "The Smith article says that...." etc. It wouldn't hurt to add a brief appendix at the end.

Form an outline of what you want the essay to cover. (You can do this while your at work.) Figure out what you want to cover in each paragraph, figuring this is a five paragraph essay you should have your Intro, then 3 supporting paragraphs then your conclusion. You should also get plenty of sleep, drink lots of water and just suck it up and jump in. =) I know I procrastinate and overanalyze and get down on myself for not doing instead of just doing it. Good luck!

I know how you feel\nI think the best way is to try and build a casual interest in what you're writing about\nIf it's a book, read a few pages and take your time thinking about what's going on.\nIf it's a person/people, imagine what It must have been like to be them and sometimes that makes things a bit more interesting.\n\nTake your time. I reckon that If you try and rush through it as quick as poss, it becomes a chore. If you slow down and maybe listen to some music and have regular sceduled breaks then it's so much easier.\n\nBut I reckon the easiest thing to do with an essay is plan. If you have all your ideas scribbled on paper, the task becomes less daunting and you have a sort've checklist to tick off. Makes nasty essays a lot easier and quicker.\n\nGood luck!

take the essay that you are writing about piece by piece.  1st write about the first 1/3 of the essay(this is hard to help with though cause I don't know what the essay is about).....then the rest,  state some facts about the essay then if it requires opinion go into what you thing about it.  This is difficult to advise on but you should read some example essays in the future when you are under less pressure. There are lots on the Internet just go under "review essays" or "paper review" or something like that.  You're school should also have papers on file in the library.  Writing papers is going to be very important in the future so you need to hone your writing skills.

What exactly do you mean by evaluate them?   Do you mean that you have done the research but not put a pen to paper?\n\nI suggest you read through what you have done and then just start writing!

Hi there;\n\nThose are the easiest to write. :)\n\nA few topics are\nTwo of your favorite bands. Compare them to each other\nTwo of your favorite movies. \nTwo of your most desired car makes/models.\nTwo of your favorite movie stars.\nTwo different breeds of cats or dogs or horses.\nMeat eating vs. Vegan diets.\nKnitting vs. sewing.\nMac vs. IBM clone computers\n\nWhich ever subject you decide to choose the easiest one will be the one you know something about. ALWAYS write about what you know and write it in a way that you are telling someone who has never heard about your subject before. The words will come easier for you and the form will be easier to follow. \nI use an outline of a thesis statement followed by the opening paragraph.\nThree or four supporting paragraphs, then the closing statement which starts the closing paragraph.\n(The closing statement supports your thesis statement bringing the reader back to the beginning, giving a nice wrapped up paper.)\nGood luck friend. :D

A college professor once gave me this advice about writing papers:  Tell them what you're going to say (intro.), tell them (body), then summarize what you just told them (conclusion)."  I hope that helps!

Just find a good way to summarize your essay. You could try several things, but my main strategy would be to stress the importance of the thesis statement of the essay in the first line, and then elaborate on it with all possible points summarized.. each of which should have been stated in the body of the essay.

I always did this sort of paper by making a list of comparisons.  Take a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle.  Put "Christian" on one heading and "Secular" on the other.  The first entry might be "Christian: Always relates to a religious theme or feeling." and "Secular: Can relate to any theme or feeling".  You get the idea.  Hope this helps.

how about concentrating on stories of the 'little people'.  ordinary, everyday folk who aren't famous or infamous, just folk doing what they know to do.  like a teacher, a baker, a grandmother, a street sweeper?   try to find beauty in the ordinaryness of life and tie it in with a faint reference to new york.  write your paper so that it is up to the reader to decide the 'value' of the life or dynamics of the person / place interface.  i think too many people are obsessed with ideas about ' dark', 'funniest', 'best', 'worst', . . . it is boring and meaningless.
