Tonight you are creating an outline that reflects thoughtful organization rather than in-depth analysis. Before you start your outline you should try reworking your thesis until you are confident that it reflects what you are going to convey in your essay and covers what the author is conveying, how he conveys this, and why he is conveying this (so what). Also to be done before you start your essay is an evaluation of the different ways of organizing a comparison essay and a decision about what will work best for your topic. When you finally start writing your outline it should be written in with a formal outline structure (I. A. 1. a. i...) and include 1. thesis statement 2. topic sentence 3. quotes 4. transition sentence 5. topic sentence 6. quotes 7. transitions, etc. For your conclusion, I want you to write what you want to accomplish in it instead of actually writing it out.
